"If we are not careful, our society as we know it will become dismantled if we allow this sort of unaccountable type of immigration enforcement that we've been seeing,"
"We have families who are afraid to leave their homes out of fear of being separated,"
"This is a great step forward in really prioritizing the safety and well-being of our immigrant community."
Four San Jose city council members propose a policy to prohibit Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from concealing their identity. The proposal would require all law enforcement agencies, including ICE, to display official identification and ban masks or face coverings during operations except for health or safety reasons. Councilmember Peter Ortiz warned that unaccountable immigration enforcement could dismantle society as currently known. Community advocates say the policy would reduce fear among immigrant families and prevent people from avoiding leaving their homes. Legal experts note that the constitutional Supremacy Clause may preempt local rules that conflict with federal immigration enforcement, complicating implementation.
