Klasko Immigration Law Partners is pleased to announce that William A. Stock was a recent participant in a National Press Club debate and discussion on the legal considerations of “sanctuary cities” that welcome all immigrants and do not use local resources to enforce federal immigration laws. Jessica Vaughan argued that sanctuary policies are illegal and present public safety problems. William Stock countered that sanctuary cities and their related state and local authorities are not thwarting federal immigration law enforcement efforts. After the two speakers made their presentations, they took questions from the audience. The video of the debate can be found here.
