A St. Louis Alderman is calling on the city to fight back against President Donald Trump's immigration policies.
Trump said the travel ban is necessary to reform vetting procedures, but critics including St. Louis Alderman Antonio French say keeping immigrants out is simply un-American.
Roughly 300 U-S cities and counties have chosen not to cooperate with federal immigration authorities. Cities that harbor undocumented immigrants are known as sanctuary cities. St. Louis Alderman Antonio French, of the 21st ward, wants St. Louis to be among them.
"It's in our DNA to welcome immigrants," French said. "And so we, along with many other cities, will be fighting back against those bullying tactics, because we take care of our folks, and we have people in this city that deserve to be protected."
