49% : In Boston, the city's immigration policy is governed by a decade-old law, known as the Trust Act, that places limits on the Boston Police Department's working relationship with ICE.
47% : It also cited state laws allowing immigrants living in the U.S. illegally to pay in-state tuition at public universities while denying the lower tuition rates to out-of-state students who are U.S. citizens.
45% : But an executive order expected to be signed Monday evening by Trump could further escalate that fight.
44% : The cities could then face withdrawn federal funding and potential criminal and civil action by the federal government if they do not change their policies, the paper reported.
43% : "It's quite simple: obey the law, respect the law and don't obstruct federal immigration officials and law-enforcement officials when they are simply trying to remove public safety threats from our nation's communities," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday.

40% : Boston and other Bay State cities are also guided by a ruling from the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court barring police from detaining someone based solely on a request from ICE, and not a criminal warrant.
22% : In a second executive order, Trump also reportedly planned to direct the Justice Department to open civil rights cases against cities and states that his administration says favor illegal immigrants over U.S. citizens.
