The term '''"Sanctuary City"''' refers to a city or state that enacts sanctuary policies towards illegal immigrants. Sanctuary cities mandate local law enforcement not to inquirer into a persons immigration status, unless they are a suspect of crime or have been deported in the past. <Ref> http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=20547&c=1&tb=1&pb=1&gd=05042007</ref>
Sanctuary policies are a violation of federal law, such as the section 642(a) of the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which prohibits the embedding of illegal immigrants<Ref> http://www.limitstogrowth.org/WEB-text/tancredo-70903.html</ref>, and the March 2005 [[United States Supreme Court]] case, Muehler v Mena, which stated that law enforcement has the right to ask a immigration stadus.<ref> http://www.cairco.org/legal/legal.html</ref>
