"Under the policy, federal agents would be prohibited from using city-owned properties including parking lots, garages and other open spaces as staging grounds for civil immigration enforcement. The city intends to post signage and install physical barriers around these areas. The signage will be available to businesses and other landowners who want to prevent immigration operations on their private property."
"The policy, however, would not apply to any city-owned property that is subject to an existing lease or contract. City officials plan to meet with the operators to discuss the possible implementation of the policy at those locations. With the Super Bowl just days away, city officials hope to revisit the policy ahead of the six FIFA World Cup matches it will host at Levi's Stadium in June and July."
Santa Clara enacted a last-minute policy preventing federal agents from using city-owned property for immigration enforcement during Super Bowl week. The policy designates parking lots, garages and open spaces as off-limits for staging civil immigration operations and outlines plans for signage and physical barriers. Signage will be available to businesses and other landowners seeking to block immigration operations on private property. The policy exempts city-owned properties under existing leases or contracts, and city officials will meet operators to discuss implementation. City leaders plan to revisit the policy ahead of six FIFA World Cup matches at Levi's Stadium in June and July.
