The Democrats who control Tucson designated their town an “immigrantwelcoming city” in 2012, and the police department adopted rules limiting when officers can ask about the immigration status of people they encounter.

Tucson is widely credited as the birthplace of the Sanctuary Movement in the 1980s, an effort by churches to help refugees from Central America and shield them form deportation.
