Language added to a hotly debated immigration resolution at the request of members of the state’s congressional delegation is giving Mayor Kathy Taylor second thoughts about signing off on it, her spokeswoman said Friday.
The resolution initially directed police to check the immigration status of inmates in on felony arrests, but misdemeanor complaints were added Wednesday before the council voted.
Taylor’s office said she and the council reached an agreement in committee on Tuesday that called for only those arrested on felonies to be checked.
