On Tuesday, San Francisco officials rallied in support of the city’s sanctuary status, opposing the Trump administration’s immigration policies. Mayor Daniel Lurie emphasized the importance of immigrant communities and introduced legislation for $250,000 in legal support for LGBTQ+ immigrants, particularly trans asylum seekers. The rally followed ICE targeting janitorial workers, drawing support from various city leaders, many of whom are immigrants or children of immigrants. City Attorney David Chiu defended the legality of the city's sanctuary policy, clarifying it does not interfere with federal immigration enforcement, but also prohibits local law enforcement from acting as ICE agents.
We value our immigrant communities. We recognize your contributions to our city. And we stand with you. You belong here.
Nothing in our local law interferes or impedes federal immigration enforcement.
