Alameda County officials have worked to strengthen protections for immigrant families, funding resources like a rapid response hotline and legal defense for those facing deportation. The Board of Supervisors is also surveying data practices to prevent ICE from accessing sensitive immigrant information. Sheriff Yesenia Sanchez announced a "zero contact policy" with ICE, assuring that her department does not share immigration status information. Despite these efforts, the Sheriff's Office received over $1 million in federal funds for sharing sensitive details under the SCAAP program, which incentivizes detaining undocumented immigrants.
