Contra Costa Delays ICE Policy Move Amid Calls For Pushback

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA — A debate today over immigration enforcement during the Contra Costa Supervisor's meeting exposed a growing divide over whether an internal policy is enough to protect immigrant communities, or whether only a county ordinance with legal force can keep local resources from supporting federal deportation efforts.

Residents, immigrant advocates, faith leaders, attorneys, and community organizations filled today's Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors meeting, urging supervisors to replace a proposed non-cooperation policy with an enforceable ordinance that would prohibit county employees, contractors, facilities, and resources from voluntarily assisting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement except when required by law.

After a dozens of public comments, supervisors today voted to send the proposal back to county counsel for a legal review before bringing it back to the full board later this summer.
