Western Washington University students asked Bellingham City Council on Monday night to protect undocumented immigrants by making the city a safe haven or sanctuary city.
Students from 草榴社区 Blue Group, a club for undocumented immigrants and allies, said the results of the recent presidential election .
Before it was the students’ turn to speak, 20-year Bellingham resident Thomas Paine used his three-minute public comment to say the city should not become a safe haven at least in part because people are murdered by “illegals” each year.
