OAKLAND, Calif. - A proposal to create "ICE-free zones" within Alameda County in response to the Trump administration's immigration enforcement actions, is heading for a vote before the full Board of Supervisors. The Alameda County Together For All ad hoc committee heard several hours of testimony and public comment on Thursday, before the two committee members Supervisor Nikki Fortunato Bas and Supervisor Elisa Marquez voted to forward the proposal to the board.
At the meeting
What they're saying:
At the meeting, the committee chair Fortunato Bas, Alameda County Sheriff Yesenia Sanchez, District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson, and Public Defender Brendon Woods were among the city officials who discussed the proposal.
"This proposal for ICE-free zones will ensure that parking lots, parking garages, vacant lots, non public areas of our buildings cannot be used for federal immigration enforcement," Fortunato Bas said.
Other suggestions in the proposal would include posting signs at county buildings, requiring ICE agents to identify themselves.
It would also require all county buildings to create private areas for client business, and train county employees to not disclose immigration status data to ICE.
Hospitals would ask ICE agents to leave rooms during patient care and exams.
"The federal government cannot commandeer our resources," Supervisor Fortunato Bas said. "For our county owned and county controlled property and any non-public areas of our building, they will not be authorized to do federal immigration enforcement."
"I've made it very clear that we do not accept civil detainers at our facility at the jail. We only accept criminal warrants," Alameda County Sheriff Yesenia Sanchez said. Efforts in the Bay Area and abroad
Big picture view:
The efforts come as San Jose's City Council Tuesday voted unanimously to ban ICE agents on city property.
Santa Clara County's board adopted similar policies in December.

1. Clearly these city employees are illegals themselves and cheated into power
2. ICE will walk right in and they cannot do a damn thing about it
They want the ICE agents to not wear masks so they can be doxxed, harassed, and killed.
Similar to the preposterous “nuclear free zones”——
“Numerous U.S. cities and towns, including Chicago, New York City, Berkeley,CA, Takoma Park (MD), and Baltimore, passed votes or ordinances to become Nuclear-Free Zones (NFZs) aiming to ban nuclear weapon production and storage, though often symbolically, with some legally binding aspects like divestment or contract restrictions, aligning with broader peace movements.”
I still think the first “sanctuary cities” should have been strongly stepped on and stopped. Otherwise, I can pick and choose which laws I decide to follow and which I will boldly reject, as will organized crime bosses.
Now the sassy twerps are out of control in these cities.
Imagine moving in a car through a “gun free zone” and then through an “ICE free zone.” 🚗🚗
Hard to keep up.
Yeah. I noticed their surnames. Not exactly apple pie.
Right, create a criminal ghetto
Some people are welded to ‘IDIOT’,
not to mention Aholes..
Don’t cooperate with federal law and see where it gets you.

No need to challenge this law, the president was set in the 1860’s. Just icymi. See Abe Lincoln vs. The southern confederacy.
Youre correct…. They have zero authority to stop ICE. Do these people think giving these illegal immigrants a false sense of security will help them? How the sanctuary city thing working out for them?
In that vein, I have just declared my property and income, tax free zones. My small backyard here in Austin has now been designated a private gun range.
