After the election results came rolling in several local agencies took it upon themselves to issue resolutions declaring themselves "sanctuaries" for refugees and immigrants amid rising fears of deportation under the new federal administration. Multiple cities and counties already had policies in place and simply reissued their promises. Additionally, the passage of Senate Bill 54 now makes California a sanctuary state.
Below we have compiled a list of cities and counties that have passed "sanctuary" resolutions, and we will continue to add more as more resolutions are passed. If we have missed your agency or if you would like to correct any information, please email feedback@californiacitynews.org and we will include it.
