Sacramento looking to ban immigration enforcement on city-owned property

The city’s Law and Legislative Committee passed a motion yesterday directing city staff to begin work on the policy, which aims to prohibit the use of city-owned property for federal immigration-related enforcement efforts.

The policy would prohibit immigration enforcement actions such as investigations, detentions, or arrests by agencies like ICE at city facilities. That includes places like parking lots, garages, parks, and other city-owned buildings.

“We want to make sure that we keep it for the residents of Sacramento, and that people feel safe being able to use these public spaces,” said Vice Mayor Karina Talamantes.
