ANN ARBOR (AP) — Ann Arbor City Council is codifying the city's practice of generally not having police or other city employees ask people for their immigration status.
The Ann Arbor News reports City Council voted 8-1 on Monday night to give final approval to the new ordinance that spells out when city police officers and other public servants can and can't ask about immigration status.
The council received a standing ovation after the vote from residents in the audience.
The vote follows President Donald Trump’s tough stance on immigration.
Councilmember Jack Eaton says it's “a tiny step along the way on a path we're going to take as a council to ensure that we don't get mired in the intolerance of the current federal administration.”
