Atwater ‘Sanctuary City For Businesses’ Resolution Met With Mixed Reactions, Resistance

In an effort to be a “sanctuary city for businesses,” Atwater, California, with a population of roughly 30,000, decided to not follow any of the shelter-in-place orders placed by the state of California. Now the city has over a thousand confirmed COVID-19 cases, since the sanctuary declaration on May 15, as We’Ced reports.
