Cambridge City Seal

The following is a joint statement from Cambridge Mayor E. Denise Simmons and City Manager Louis A. DePasquale:

"While we do not yet know what impact President Trump’s Executive Order on Immigration will have, as a Sanctuary City, Cambridge will continue to support and promote the safety, health and well-being of all our residents, regardless of immigration status. We encourage every resident – regardless of status – to seek and obtain assistance from the many resources available to the Cambridge Community.

Today, we remain just as committed to all of our residents as we have been since we first became a Sanctuary City 31 years ago."
