Impact analysis
Expect possible city legal costs or federal funding risk, but the source doesn’t give a price tag.
Immigrant residents and mixed-status families get more protection from local entanglement with ICE, and police may gain trust in immigrant communities.
Federal immigration enforcement loses a local cooperation channel, and the city could face funding or legal blowback.
