  The York Trust Act would prohibit city employees, including police, from asking about residents' immigration status.

The York City Council is set to vote on an ordinance aimed at protecting immigrants and refugees by establishing York as a sanctuary city. This proposed measure would limit the city's cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, ensuring that local resources are not used for immigration enforcement activities unless required by law. The ordinance seeks to foster an inclusive environment, encouraging immigrants to engage with local services without fear of deportation. It also aims to prevent city officials from inquiring about or collecting information regarding an individual's immigration status, except where legally mandated. This initiative reflects a broader movement among some U.S. cities to provide sanctuary to undocumented immigrants, amidst ongoing national debates about immigration policy.
