They were grounded in real experiences, recent national events, and deep distrust of federal immigration enforcement practices that have increasingly blurred the line between lawful activity and intimidation.
Santa Clara is hosting events of international significance.
With that visibility comes responsibility.
Our residents deserve clarity, protection within the limits of the law, and a local government that acts decisively rather than symbolically.
We write to affirm our support for advancing a concrete and enforceable city policy that prevents city-owned and city-controlled property from being used to facilitate civil immigration enforcement activities, while also providing practical guidance and resources towards residents and businesses.
Specifically, we support the adoption of City Council Policy 056, as drafted by staff, which establishes the following core commitments.
The city prohibits the use of city-owned and city-controlled facilities, parking lots, garages, and open spaces as staging areas, processing locations, or operational bases for civil immigration enforcement activities.
We support directing city managers to implement this policy through clear identification of covered properties, visible signage indicating prohibited uses, physical deterrence where appropriate, and internal reporting procedures for city employees to flag violations for review by the city manager and city attorney.
While the City cannot regulate private property in the same manner, we strongly support providing standardized signage for voluntary use by property owners and making Know Your Rights materials publicly available in alignment with California law and Attorney General guidance.
Partnership with local activist groups will ensure this messaging is circulated in the most efficient way possible with the greatest reach and impact.
This policy must be explicit that it does not interfere with lawful judicial warrants, criminal law enforcement, or rights and obligations imposed by state and federal law.
Clarity here is essential to maintain public trust and avoid misinformation.
given the scale and complexity of stadium authority operations we support staff's approach to meet and confer with existing contract partners and community groups to implement this policy to the greatest extent possible while preserving necessary coordination among law enforcement agencies to ensure public safety for future agreements we support including these use limitations wherever legally permissible in
In addition to adopting policy 056, we request that staff modify the policy to include, and whether it's modified or implemented with these caveats, a clear implementation timeline identifying what can be executed immediately and what will require additional staffing or resources.
Guidance on employee training related to safe site protocols and reporting procedures.
and a public-facing summary of lessons learned from Super Bowl operations to inform preparation for the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
This moment requires more than reassurance.
It requires visible action that is legally sound, operationally feasible, and responsive to the lived reality of our residents.
Policy 056 is not a declaration of intent.
It is a framework for real limits, real notice, and real accountability.
