Spokane City Council passes ordinances to curb private detention facilities and warrantless immigration enforcement on city-owned properties

With the Trump administration moving quickly to make mass detention and deportation of immigrants its core domestic policy — in ways that many critics and legal scholars say violate constitutional due process rights — many cities across the country have been left scrambling.

In an attempt to be more proactive and set up some guardrails ahead of any potential incidents, the Spokane City Council passed two immigration enforcement-related measures at its March 2 meeting.
