De Blasio -- along with the mayors of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and the US capital Washington -- has declared his city a "sanctuary" for immigrants, vowing to protect the undocumented from deportation and extend public services regardless of their legal status.
De Blasio kopā ar Bostonas, Čikāgas, Filadelfijas, Losandželosas, Sanfrancisko un Vašingtonas mēriem ir pasludinājis savu pilsētu par "patvērumu" imigrantiem, solot pasargāt nelegālos imigrantus no deportēšanas un palielinot tiem pieejamos sabiedriskos pakalpojumus, neatkarīgi no to tiesiskā statusa.
