What is Sanctuary city?
A '''sanctuary city''' is a city that does not help its country's immigration police. Sanctuary cities say they wish to cut down fear of [[deportation]] and possible [[family]] breakups with people who are in a country illegally. That's so that such people may be willing to report a crime and send their children to [[school]]. Some states, such as [[Alabama]], [[Iowa]], [[Mississippi]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], [[Missouri]] and [[Florida]] do not allow sanctuary cities.<ref>{{cite report|title=Florida is About to Ban Sanctuary Cities|publisher=CNN|url=https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/09/politics/sanctuary-city-bans-states/index.html|access-date=September 10, 2019}}</ref> Others, such as [[Connecticut]], [[Rhode Island]], [[Illinois]] [[New York]], [[Colorado]] and [[California]] allow sanctuary cities.<ref>{{cite news|title=California Governor Signs Sanctuary State Bill|publisher=National Public Radio|url=https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/05/555920658/california-governor-signs-sanctuary-state-bill|access-date=September 10, 2019}}</ref> In early 2018, a [[Chicago]] federal [[judge]] said that the [[Donald Trump|Trump]] administration could ''not'' withhold public safety grants to sanctuary cities.
