DURANGO, Colo. | The Durango City Council is hoping to clarify that Durango is not a sanctuary city and that it never has been, despite its listing on a website as a municipality that shelters undocumented immigrants.
The Durango Herald reports (https://bit.ly/1IDFPed ) the council will consider a resolution Tuesday to take an exact position on the issue.
Durango’s stance on immigration law has recently been questioned after the town was listed by the website, sanctuarycities.info, as a safe haven for those who are in the country without proper documentation.
City Manager Ron LeBlanc has asked for Durango to be taken off the website, but a site manager refused.
The City Council addressed the issue before in a 2004 resolution, and LeBlanc says the “misunderstanding” needs to be made clear.
