_{The Fayetteville mayor’s office and city attorney are defending Mayor Molly Rawn after a state lawmaker, Rep. Kendon Underwood, filed a complaint alleging her recent statements violated Arkansas’s ban on sanctuary cities. Rawn had said that the city does not assist ICE in carrying out its agenda and that the role of Fayetteville Police is to keep the community safe — not to act as immigration agents. The complaint came after a June 17 incident in which Fayetteville Police were called to assist with a traffic stop and found both Arkansas Highway Patrol and ICE on the scene. The officer reportedly left without participating, and the city confirmed it does not engage in civil immigration enforcement.}

_{City officials emphasized that Fayetteville has complied with the sanctuary cities law since it was enacted in 2019. They clarified that the law does not require local police to help ICE detain or arrest undocumented immigrants and noted that the city does not track immigration status, operate detention facilities, or act on ICE’s behalf. The city attorney stated there has been no violation and said this is the first complaint of its kind since the law took effect. He expressed confidence that the Attorney General would agree Fayetteville is in compliance.}
