1. The use of the term 'Sanctuary' is unfortunate AND misleading

It conjures up images of a criminal fleeing from law enforcement, and rushing into a church where they are protected from arrest. It should be called 'Local Police do THEIR Job, Federal ICE Agents do THEIR job'.
And the policy of allowing "... Boston police to collaborate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement "on issues of significant public safety, such as human trafficking, child exploitation, drug and weapons trafficking, and cybercrimes, while refraining from involvement in civil immigration enforcement" sounds perfectly reasonable.
Hopefully, this will come before a reasonable judge.
