Mayor Declares Prospect Park Sanctuary: The mayor of Prospect Park, New Jersey, Mohamed Khairullah, has signed an executive order to declare Prospect Park a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants. According to Fausto Giovanny Pinto at NJ.Com, the order was signed last Friday and allows for equal protection for all borough citizens regardless of immigration status. Ken Carson at the Observer reports that the order states; "No department, committee, agency, commission,
officer or employee of the Borough of Prospect Park shall use any
Borough funds or resources to assist in the enforcement of Federal
Immigration Law." This move comes just one week after President Trump's executive orders on immigration.
