Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : ""States like Massachusetts, New York, and California will better facilitate the care of these individuals who they have invited into our country by incentivizing illegal immigration through their designation as 'sanctuary states' and support for the Biden Administration's open border policies," DeSantis Communications Director Taryn Fenske told MassLive.
51% : Other sanctuary cities in Massachusetts include Cambridge, Somerville, Chelsea, and Orleans.
48% : DeSantis, rumored as a potential GOP candidate for the 2024 presidential election, jump-started the immigration relocation program, approved over the summer by Florida's legislation, to send immigrants to sanctuary cities in the United States, a spokesperson for DeSantis said.
47% : In Holyoke and Northampton, there are executive orders signed by their respective mayors instructing their police departments not to comply with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) retainer requests, which are voluntary.
46% : There is a long tradition of cities providing sanctuary and asylum throughout human history, but the term has come to mean jurisdictions that have taken steps to prevent the deputization of local law enforcement as immigration agents.
