Route 18 in New Bedford to become nation’s first sanctuary highway
In a bold move, New Bedford Mayor Jon Smith, with support of all but one City Council member, decided to turn Route 18 into the nation’s first sanctuary highway.
“People with suspended and revoked licenses live in fear and in the shadows,” stated Mayor Smith. “They are hard working folks and we welcome them to drive on Route 18 without risk of being arrested.”
Per the press release from the city, the sanctuary highway allows people without a licence, or even a suspended/revoked license, to drive without fear on Route 18. New Bedford police officers are not allowed to ask drivers for their license status or cooperate with federal authorities.
“This is just a start!” Continued Mayor Smith. “We plan on pushing to make all roads in New Bedford a safe palce and we will eventually push for a sanctuary harbor and ocean, where hard working fishermen like Carlos “The codfather” Rodriguez are allowed to fish without local and federal interference. He is just fishing the areas other fishermen won’t fish.”
Ian Martins was the sole opposing vote in the City Council. “This is crazy. What the f*ck is going on? Is this fake news?”

I think the drivers without licenses should drive only on the roads no one else would drive on.

This is bull shit! Those people without licences are the ones who cause the biggest messiest accidents. Which btw means no insurance. We get hurt [as a licenced driver] we are screwed. I for one would be looking for the political parties who find this ok to go after and SEW for punitive damages pain and suffering and whatever else comes with a lawsuit filed for a car accident. You wanna make a stand FINE the fishing thing is great! Don’t put the lives at risk of responsible individuals.

What will you “SEW” for damages? Perhaps a nice flag for the unlicensed to hang from their cars as they criuse the
Ave?

The people who run new Bedford are so racist… protecting people who are breaking the law, while working legal immigrants and people born here are punished or fined for the same crimes…
Crying government interference agendas are racist while passing laws that are by definition are clearly racist.
Also, what’s the sense of having a presidential chain of command if cities and states can deside to only follow the laws they agree with….
I’ve lived in new Bedford my whole life and am discussted and ashamed of how it’s being led…
