Although Columbus does not refer to itself as a sanctuary city, it has maintained sanctuary policies for immigrants and refugees since 2015. Mayor Andrew Ginther said he plans to keep it that way, even with President Donald Trump’s recent executive orders threatening immigrant citizenship and mass deportations.
