The Sacramento City Council could ban the use of city-owned property for immigration enforcement<\/a> after being criticized for its limited response to the federal government\u2019s immigration crackdown.<\/p>\n

The council in January passed a separate, updated resolution that, in part, upheld residents\u2019 rights to record Immigration Customs and Enforcement officers. But more than 100 people packed City Hall<\/a> in January and implored elected officials for stronger action to protect immigrants.<\/p>\n

The new resolution<\/a>, sponsored by Council members Mai Vang, Eric Guerra and Karina Talamantes, is a response to that frustration.<\/p>\n

The measure directs City Manager Maraskeshia Smith to ban officials from accessing municipal properties \u201cfor purposes of civil immigration-related enforcement activities.\u201d The document also directs her develop a policy offering free signage to \u201cprivate property owners who seek to restrict civil immigration-related enforcement activity on their property.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump\u2019s administration has ordered federal immigration authorities to conduct raids, seizing unauthorized migrants. Protests were held in cities across the county, including Sacramento<\/a>, after agents killed Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good in separate incidents in Minneapolis. They died in January.<\/p>\n

A resolution is not an ordinance, and has little enforcement power. Advocates expressed disappointment as the city sought a resolution instead of adopting a municipal law.<\/p>\n

The resolution also does not offer a timeline for when the policy will be developed, advocates said. The lack of clarity generates uncertainty for when the public will see the city\u2019s action, they added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWill they ever make that public information? Will there be a widespread announcement that\u2019s actually functional?\u201d said Moiz Mir, the organizing and advocacy manager for the Asian American Liberation Network.<\/p>\n

The resolution also does not outline any penalties for city officials if this work is not completed, said programs director Giselle Garcia, with NorCal Resist.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere are the consequences?\u201d she added. \u201cWhere is the redress?\u201d<\/p>\n

The City Council will consider the resolution at its 2 p.m. City Council meeting on Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Sacramento City Council could ban the use of city-owned property for immigration enforcement after being criticized for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":283788,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[47394,5528,4192,121,15950,123,122,69802],"class_list":{"0":"post-283787","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sacramento","8":"tag-immigration-crackdown","9":"tag-immigration-enforcement","10":"tag-resolution","11":"tag-sacramento","12":"tag-sacramento-city-council","13":"tag-sacramento-headlines","14":"tag-sacramento-news","15":"tag-the-resolution"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283787"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283787\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283788"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283787"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283787"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
