Immigration Shift in Alabama.
The Tuskegee City Council passed a resolution declaring Tuskegee the first city in Alabama to officially welcome immigrants and adopt a TRUST policy, which prohibits the warrantless detention of people at the request of immigration authorities. Four years ago, Alabama enacted the anti-immigrant law HB 56, announced as the nation’s toughest immigration law.
