Chelsea and Somerville have initiated a legal action against the Trump administration, claiming the withholding of federal funds over their immigration policies is unconstitutional. The two cities, which have historically embraced sanctuary policies to foster trust between residents and local law enforcement, have filed a motion to block the federal government's funding threats while the case progresses. Local leaders argue that their policies enhance public safety, while critics argue that these protections may shield criminals from authorities. The actions reflect broader tensions between federal immigration enforcement and local governance.
