RationaleforRecommendation
Rationale for Recommendation: Immigrants comprise a significant portion of Sacramento’s population, and the City has long benefited from being one of the most integrated and diverse in the United States. Sacramento has a strong history of reaching out and welcoming people of diverse backgrounds and immigration status.
At the January 27, 2026, City Council Meeting, City Council updated its Immigration Platform, reaffirming that the City of Sacramento is a city of refuge for immigrants of all nationalities and beliefs; and adopting a citywide Immigration Platform and policy.
On February 10, the Law and Legislation Committee discussed a proposal to prohibit the use of City property for civil immigration-related enforcement activity, establish implementation and reporting procedures for City departments, and provide optional standardized signage and informational materials for private property owners. Staff was directed to review these items and return to City Council.
As federal enforcement activities have expanded, many cities across the country have restricted or prohibited access to city property for immigration-related enforcement activities.
The resolution brought forward in this report prohibits the use of City facilities and City property for such activities and directs the development of policies related to:
• Providing free signage for private property owners who wish to restrict civil immigration-related enforcement activity
• Recordkeeping and oversight of civil Immigration-related enforcement involving City Property
• Rules and regulations necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the resolution
Upon approval, staff will begin developing the necessary policies, processes, procedures, and signage.
