All 24 members of the City Council managed to agree on something this week: They don’t like the president coming after the city over federal immigration enforcement.

The councilors co-signed a statement declaring their opposition to the Department of Homeland Security’s recent accusation that Newton and the whole state of Massachusetts are non-compliant with federal law.

“As City Councilors, we note for the record that this is false,” the City Council statement responds. “The City of Newton, specifically in its capacity as a law enforcement agency, is prohibited from taking any action that denies any individuals due process of law, under the Constitution of the United States of America and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, regardless of immigration or citizenship status. Our commitment to uphold this civil right is reflected in our municipal ordinances. We will not be intimidated or coerced into abandoning that.”

Newton has a Welcoming City ordinance, which prohibits local employees (police, City Hall staff, etc.) from investigating someone’s immigration status, ethnic background or religion. And local authorities maintain that cities and towns are under no obligation to help federal agencies enforce immigration policy.

President Donald Trump, however, said these kinds of policies are “a lawless insurrection against the supremacy of Federal law and the Federal Government’s obligation to defend the territorial sovereignty of the United States.”

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have detained people all over Massachusetts, including in Newton, over the past several weeks as the administration steps up mass-deportation efforts.
