A #SanctuaryCity is essentially a myth. No local officials can defend the way some immigrants feel constant fear at home and on the street.

ICE has a policy to not make arrests at what it calls sensitive locations like hospitals, churches, press conferences. Right.
-
ICE has detained people at hospitals/outside churches/leaving press conferences. Stories are publicized, setting more panic into immigrants.
-
I've been reporting about undocumented immigrants long enough to remember when most folks wouldn't talk to the press. Those times are back.
-
The family I spent almost a week with here in LA County? Immigration policy informs their every step. Every single step is calculated
-
Juana, the undocumented woman who was from El Salvador, doesn't even want to go to a know-your-rights training. It would out her status.
-
Juana needs medical care. She has Kaiser health insurance but she's terrified that someone at the hospital is going to call ICE on her.
-
Juana has no other option but to take heavily policed public transportation to get to work at her Beverly Hill hotel job. It freaks her out.
-
She'll avoid certain train lines or certain stations. Too many cops. And cops can mean ICE. And ICE can mean deportation.
