Brigham Tomco: "Utah continues to be classified as a sanctuary state by the Center for Immigration Studies. The 'pro-immigrant, low-immigration' think tank cites the absence of ICE detention centers in the state and Utah’s immigrant-friendly policies, like driving privilege cards, child medical insurance, in-state college tuition and occupational licensing for undocumented migrants, as justification for the designation.
"Being a sanctuary state or sanctuary city has traditionally meant having an official policy of limiting 'cooperation with ICE enforcement, especially in relation to the criminal justice system,' said University of Nevada Las Vegas professor Michael Kagan, one of the nation’s leading scholars on immigration law.
"'Utah would never be thought of as a sanctuary state,' Kagan said.
"Utah code explicitly requires state law enforcement to work with ICE officers when apprehending illegal immigrants who have broken the law."
