Portsmouth, United States – Portsmouth will introduce a “welcoming and diversity” resolution in lieu of declaring itself a sanctuary city on Monday, ending a months-long debate on the designation under pressure from the US administration and leaving New Hampshire without a sanctuary city.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January promising to withhold federal funds from any such jurisdictions.
While there is no official designation, sanctuary cities generally offer safety to undocumented migrants and often do not use municipal funds or resources to advance the enforcement of federal immigration laws, neither do they cooperate with the Immigration
