NEW POLICE POLICY MAKES IT CLEAR: IMMIGRANTS ARE SAFE & WELCOME IN MEDFORD! THIS NEWS OUTLET HAS EVIDENCE THAT THIS IS NOT THE CASE!
A new Medford Police Department policy states that your immigration status is not a matter of police concern, and commits the department to equal enforcement of the law and equal service to the public regardless of documentation and status.
Summary of the new Medford Police Department policy:
The enforcement of the nation’s civil immigration laws is the responsibility of the federal government. The Medford Police Department will not undertake immigration-related investigations or inquire into your immigration status during normal police operations. The Medford Police Department may work with ICE when formally requested as part of an on-going criminal investigation, or in serious situations where a potential threat to public safety or national security is perceived.
