Town Manager Andrew Nota told the East Greenwich Town Council that police had no involvement in or advance notice of a recent federal immigration enforcement action.

A police official said officers questioning federal agents could be seen as interference. Council members discussed referring affected people to Congressman Magaziner's office, state resources and community groups. No vote was taken; a council member asked staff to look into outreach, and Nota agreed.
