Mayor Kelly Girtz said Athens-Clarke County is not a sanctuary city.

“There isn’t even a formal definition of that term,” Girtz said on Monday. “Under Georgia law, cities and counties cannot legally function as sanctuary cities.”

President Donald Trump’s administration has escalated its challenge against “sanctuary city” laws by threatening to prosecute state and local officials who resist federal immigration crackdowns, according to Just Security.org.

Recent immigration sweeps have resulted in 1,000 arrests nationwide, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. These actions also come after the murder of University of Georgia student Laken Riley.

Girtz said he does not anticipate an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid in Athens-Clarke County but is prepared to address the situation if it arises.

“I have no idea what that would look like,” Girtz added.
