""I've seen a Sunnyvale family hiding from ICE officers demanding warrantless entry, with children watching fearfully from the windows. The stakes here are incredibly high, and any limitations we can place are absolutely worthwhile.""
""You are adding to that powerful protection by establishing this policy here in Sunnyvale and being a role model for other cities across the county.""
The Sunnyvale City Council voted to prohibit ICE agents from using city-owned property for civil enforcement, joining other municipalities in Santa Clara County. The policy includes providing resources and training on rights related to court orders, while clarifying that it does not interfere with criminal law enforcement. This decision responds to concerns about federal immigration activity, particularly with upcoming events like the World Cup. Advocates view this as a step towards building trust and safety in immigrant communities.
