Under New Law, Cambridge, MA Police Can’t Arrest Illegal Immigrants for Driving Without a License

“We need to protect our community members from a federal government that’s out of control”

The city of Cambridge, Massachusetts just brought the concept of sanctuary city to a whole new level. In an effort to protect illegal immigrants from ICE, the city has passed a new law which directs police not to arrest illegals caught driving without a driver’s license.

They don’t call it the ‘People’s Republic of Cambridge’ for nothing, folks. As a Massachusetts native, let me assure you that pretty much every joke you’ve heard about Cambridge is true.

Drew Karedes reports at FOX 25 News in Boston:
Under new Cambridge law, undocumented immigrants won’t be arrested for driving without a license

It’s the law that you need a license to drive.

But, if you’re undocumented and driving without a license in Cambridge, police have been advised not to arrest you for that.

It’s all part of a new law that passed unanimously in the city, which encourages police to summons unlicensed drivers instead of arresting them. The procedure has already been practiced for a while, but city leaders said they felt compelled to officially make it a law, in fear of what could happen to immigration laws should President Trump be re-elected.

“We need to protect our community members from a federal government that’s out of control,” said Cambridge City Councilor Quinton Zondervan. “There are no other reasons for the police to arrest someone, give them a court summons instead which keeps them out of the clutches of the Trump administration.”

Currently, Massachusetts requires drivers to show proof of legal status in order to obtain a driver’s license, a move that many have opposed saying it makes roads more dangerous.

Of course, this raises an obvious question. What happens to an American citizen caught driving without a license in Cambridge? Do they enjoy the same rights?

Emma Colton of the Washington Examiner has more:
Illegal immigrants in Massachusetts city won’t be arrested if they drive without a license

Police had already been advised to follow this protocol for some time, but the council voted unanimously to make it a law, according to the Tuesday report. The law doesn’t restrict police from arresting drivers if they have additional violations besides the lack of a driver’s license. It does, however, keep police from asking if a driver is a legal citizen.

The Massachusetts Legislature’s Joint Committee on Transportation gave its support for a different bill earlier in February that would allow illegal immigrants to obtain state driver’s licenses…

Cambridge, which is home to Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, became a sanctuary city in 1985, and city officials have become more vocal about sticking to the status since President Trump took office.

“At the end of the day, we have to have a real conversation and understand that these folks seeking asylum are people,” Cambridge Mayor Marc McGovern said during a Fox News hit in 2019. “They are not cargo.”

This is insanity, and it has ‘potential lawsuit’ written all over it.

Unbelievable.
Show me any other country where you can enter illegally, not get imprisoned and tortured, and be given more rights and benefits than citizens who live there.

Unf**kingbelievable.

Oh yea that makes sense, anything to protect them from ICE. Isn’t there a law against aiding a criminal? Maybe the law makers can be locked up for enabling a criminal.
