Title:
|
Resolved: That it is the sense of the Malden City Council that no resources of the City of Malden should be used to assist with the Federal government's responsibility for civil (non-criminal) immigration enforcement in any manner not required by law, court order, or subpoena. This includes not assisting Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, or other Federal agencies charged with this responsibility.
The City Council asks that all city staff and representatives comply with this intent to the best of their ability and within the limits of the law. This resolution is not intended to violate any Federal law, nor shall it be interpreted to do so.
We support the protections in the US Constitution for due process and condemn aggressive and inhumane tactics of ICE agents in Malden and other communities across the country. As a diverse and immigrant-rich community, we dedicate our resources to creating a safe, livable, and welcoming community for all.
