"We have an opportunity from San Francisco to lead. Showing that there are legislative tools to provide safety for San Franciscans in light of the federal government."
"This helps to increase the transparency of where [immigration enforcement] incidents might be occurring, when right now, it's in some respect invisible to many people."
San Francisco's sanctuary city policy prevents local law enforcement from assisting federal immigration operations. An executive order directs officers to identify immigration agents. This formalization aims to enhance public trust and serve as a model for other cities. The policy builds on the recent creation of ICE-Free Zones, prohibiting immigration officers from using city resources. Similar policies have been adopted by Santa Clara and Alameda counties. The initiative promotes transparency regarding immigration enforcement incidents and provides a legislative framework to ensure community safety.
