The City Council unanimously agreed to direct staff to create a resolution to restrict U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from using city-owned or city-controlled land and facilities for civil immigration enforcement.
At the meeting on January 26, 2026, the council discussed expanding and extending the city’s 2017 policies.
City Council directed staff to build a resolution based on the City of Pinole’s ordinance, which limits the use of city-owned or city-controlled property for federal civil immigration enforcement, while including exceptions when cooperation is required by a valid judicial warrant or court order, when federal officers access areas open to the general public, and when activities are related to criminal enforcement.
City departments, employees, officials, contractors, and agents may not knowingly allow city property to be used for civil immigration enforcement activities such as staging operations, processing or detaining individuals, surveillance, or serving as coordination or logistics hubs.
Staff will return with a resolution for consideration at a future meeting.
