Dear City of Menlo Park,
I am writing to inquire about Menlo Parks official reaction to the federal governments recent publication of a list of "sanctuary jurisdictions," particularly concerning the potential for suspension of federal grants or contracts.
Our team is currently developing a story on Bay Area cities named on the list, and given Menlo Parks inclusion, we would greatly appreciate your input. To meet our 3:00 PM deadline today, we have the following specific questions for the City of Menlo Park:
* Policy Implications: What is the citys current stance or planned response regarding its "sanctuary" policies in light of this federal action?
* Federal Pressure: How is the city responding to this increased federal pressure?
* Police Department: Are there any specific instructions or directives to the Menlo Park Police Department concerning this policy?
* Anticipated Consequences: What potential consequences or impacts does the city anticipate as a result of being named on this list?
Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent request. If easier to call, my phone number is 408-508-9513
Sincerely,
Ryan
