Migrant advocates gathered in Berkeley to support the city's reaffirmation as a sanctuary city due to looming threats of mass deportation from the Trump administration. The updated resolution includes enhanced protections for immigrants in sensitive locations such as schools and hospitals, preventing ICE raids. Mayor Adena Ishii announced the formation of a task force to ensure the safety of immigrant communities. This action comes as federal authorities intensify investigation against sanctuary policies, possibly targeting Berkeley for its stance in the current immigration crackdown.
Berkeley's updated sanctuary city resolution includes new language aimed at protecting immigrants in places like schools, hospitals and churches from potential raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
As the incoming administration threatens mass deportations and indiscriminate raids, the City of Berkeley will vote to reaffirm our commitment we did it before and we continue now, Ishii said in a statement.
