Lansing, Michigan was a ‘sanctuary city’ for a short time, meaning that local law enforcement authorities claim jurisdictional authority on immigration matters over the federal government. The city council voted 6-0 to become a ‘sanctuary city’ last week, but this week, a 5-2 vote reversed the decision.
The city council members allegedly feared public backlash over the vote and now look to focus on local economic issues and the like.
