Just wanted to add a city to the Sanctuary City section

Madison Wisconsin needs to be added to the list of Sanctuary Cities.

Don't ask (immigration policy)

This was the only entry on the talk page for the article "Don't ask (immigration policy)" which was merged with this page

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

Crime

"A 2020 study found that California Senate Bill 54 (2017), a sanctuary city legislation, had no significant impact on violent and property crime rates in California.[75]

A 2021 US study found that Latinos were more likely to report crime victimization to law enforcement after sanctuary policies were adopted in their areas of residence.[76]"

These two statements are contradictory. You cannot have an increase in victimization reported to police without a parallel increase in crime rates. This is the definition of reported victimization. Please at least clarify the conflict between these studies to avoid confusion among readers. 68.84.223.176 (talk) 21:26, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

research misstated in lede

As of 2024-10-14, the fourth paragraph of the introduction begins, "Studies on the relationship between sanctuary status and crime have found that sanctuary policies either have no effect on crime or that sanctuary cities have higher crime rates and weaker economies than comparable non-sanctuary cities", citing four references. Skimming those references, one said "no effect" while the other three said sanctuary cities were safer and at least one said the economy was better.

I've just rewritten that sentence so it more clearly states the research including brief quotes from three of the references cited. DavidMCEddy (talk) 13:33, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article needs more specifics of sanctuary policies

The article is rather short on the details of how sanctuary cities do not cooperate with immigration authorities. This leaves sentences like, for example, "Sanctuary city policies substantially reduce deportations of illegal immigrants who do not have criminal records, but have no impact on those who have violent criminal records." lacking context. What are these policies? The sentence implies a difference in treatment between violent and nonviolent criminals, but what is that difference? 204.144.209.223 (talk) 11:46, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
