What’s Important: The South Fulton City Council passed the measure. It does not carry the force of law but places the city formally on record against ICE detention facility activity.
What We Know: A resolution is a formal statement of a governing body’s position. Unlike an ordinance, it does not create or change local law. It expresses where the council stands on a given issue.
