The Hamden Legislative Council adopted a Welcoming City Ordinance that extends Connecticut’s Trust Act to all town employees and public school staff. Under the ordinance, police officers may not ask residents about their immigration status or make arrests based on civil immigration detainers, and town employees are barred from cooperating with federal immigration agents. Municipal staff who encounter federal immigration authorities are instructed not to answer questions or hinder an operation, but to refer the matter to a supervisor.
