Episode Details

Contra Costa County is pausing to finalize its immigration cooperation policy, giving itself extra time to align with new state guidelines while solidifying its stance to protect immigrant residents. Supervisors, who’ve been working on this since last year, aim to prohibit using county resources for federal immigration enforcement unless legally required — a move designed to signal safety and support for the community. The policy could become either a resolution or a stronger ordinance, with advocates pushing for the latter. Violations will lead to discipline or contract termination. This follows a broader Bay Area trend of “ICE-free” zones and non-cooperation policies, all in response to federal actions and to safeguard residents — even as potential federal funding threats loom, county leaders remain committed to protecting their communities.
