Santa Rosa council moves to limit federal immigration enforcement on city property

THE CITY OF SANTA ROSA this week became the latest jurisdiction in California to strengthen protections for residents without certain immigration documentation by prohibiting most city property from being used for immigration enforcement. 

Members of the City Council voted unanimously at their regular meeting Tuesday to restrict city property that is not open to the public from being used by immigration authorities or any other entity whose purposes do not comply with the city’s stated mission of providing quality, accessible services for its residents.
