The Phoenix City Council will be asked to vote in two weeks on the issue of becoming a sanctuary city, a councilman said Wednesday.
“A citizen dropped off a petition requiring a public vote on whether or not the city of Phoenix is going to vote on becoming a sanctuary city,” Councilman Sal DiCiccio said, who also tweeted the news.
Under the city’s charter, a citizen-submitted petition must be either voted upon or dismissed, according to DiCiccio. He said he believes the vote will be Feb. 15.
The councilman said he does not want Phoenix to become a sanctuary city because it could be bad for the city.
