Recent reports indicated immigration enforcement activities in the Bay Area, amid confusion over a debunked SFUSD email about ICE presence on Muni buses. SEIU Local 87 confirmed ICE operations downtown and in San José. The enforcement actions align with changes from the Department of Homeland Security that rescind Obama-era protections for sensitive locations. Officials emphasize that community trust in law enforcement is crucial for public safety and effective policing, asserting that immigrant families should feel secure in seeking help without fear of deportation.
"When immigrant families trust law enforcement, victims and witnesses come forward, criminals are arrested, crimes are solved. We know that effective law enforcement requires community trust."
"I've always said that public safety is my first priority. That means everyone in our city should feel comfortable interacting with local law enforcement and accessing city services."
