“…Access of all city residents, including non-status migrants, to fundamental rights and basic services, is considered a matter of justice and a principle to be implemented for the greater good of the city (Ridgley, 2008, p. 56). Accordingly, the mere fact of residing in a city entitles inhabitants to certain rights and services (Paquet et al, 2021). However, sanctuary city policies are in tension with the primacy of the federal or central government's jurisdiction in managing borders and regulating immigration and citizenship policy.…”
