Immigration & Border
Sue AnderBois opposed allowing local and state police to collaborate with immigration officials under 287(g) agreements. Her campaign newsletter also says her commitment to support all neighbors is unwavering regardless of immigration status. Together, these point to a pro-immigrant, anti-delegation-of-local-policing stance without evidence of a broader immigration agenda.
