But photos of the vans used by the sheriff’s office began spreading on social media, accompanied by messages claiming that ICE was present and detaining people in East San José, where thousands of immigrant families live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People in the community were reaching out to me to ask me if this was true,” said Huy Tran, executive director of Services, Immigrant Rights and Education Network (SIREN), an organization with offices in San José and Fresno that offers legal aid, trainings and leadership development to immigrant communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout California, there are networks of dedicated volunteers and attorneys who are responding to possible ICE activity around the clock — called \u003ca href=\"https://podersf.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Northern-California-Rapid-Response-Network.pdf\">Rapid Response Networks\u003c/a>. SIREN, for example, forms part of Santa Clara County Rapid Response Network, which, on Jan. 26, responded to reports from neighbors about ICE sightings in East San José.

What have ICE arrests looked like in Trump’s first days, and what is the focus?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>During his 2024 campaign, Trump promised his administration would launch “\u003ca href=\"https://www.opb.org/article/2024/11/15/trump-mass-deportation-immigration-border/\">the largest deportation program of criminals in the history of America.\u003c/a>” He even \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/11/18/congress/donald-trump-military-deportation-plan-00190168\">promised to deploy the military for deportations\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his first week back as president, Trump signed both an executive order declaring “\u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/declaring-a-national-emergency-at-the-southern-border-of-the-united-states/\">an invasion” at the southern border\u003c/a> and ended a \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/21_1027_opa_guidelines-enforcement-actions-in-near-protected-areas.pdf\">2011 Homeland Security policy\u003c/a> that restricted immigration officers from \u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/migrants-can-now-be-arrested-at-churches-and-schools-after-trump-administration-throws-out-policies\">detaining people at “sensitive locations” like schools, churches and hospitals\u003c/a>. ICE detentions have also \u003ca href=\"https://blockclubchicago.org/2025/01/27/ice-arrests-dozens-in-chicago-as-part-of-targeted-operation-with-dr-phil-broadcasting-live/\">intensified in Chicago\u003c/a> since the inauguration, where officials said they have launched “enhanced targeted operations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while Trump still said his administration would go ahead with mass deportations, officials appointed by him are being more careful with their words — laying emphasis, for now, on people with criminal convictions. “If you’re in the country illegally, ICE can visit you,” said Tom Homan, who Trump designated as “border czar.” “But right now … we’re concentrating on the worst first,” he clarified during an interview with Fox News on Wednesday. “The public safety threats.”\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003cbr>\nIn the same interview, Homan said that ICE had arrested 308 undocumented individuals with criminal convictions the previous day alone. For context, that’s still way below \u003ca href=\"https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/obama-record-deportations-deporter-chief-or-not\">the average daily number of arrests and deportations during the Obama administration\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Trump’s promise of using the military for deportations, the only evidence of the administration doing this is \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/us-military-aircraft-deport-migrants-pentagon-readies-more-troops-border-2025-01-24/\">using military aircraft to fly migrants detained by ICE to their countries of origin\u003c/a>. Additional troops have \u003ca href=\"https://www.kpbs.org/news/border-immigration/2025/01/24/camp-pendleton-troops-arrive-at-us-mexico-border\">arrived in San Diego\u003c/a>, but the Pentagon said \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-troops-us-mexico-border/\">these troops will not be involved in law enforcement\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"ice-raids-on-social-media\">\u003c/a>Q. What should I do if I see an online post about ICE in the community?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The major takeaway: If you think you see ICE in your neighborhood or see ICE reported nearby on social media, \u003cstrong>advocates advise that you call them \u003cem>instead \u003c/em>of circulating anything online.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tran of SIREN explained further: Before posting anything, you should first reach out to your local Rapid Response Network — a coalition of volunteers, organizations and attorneys that work together to confirm ICE sightings and connect people who have been detained by ICE to legal representation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/BarrioDrive/status/1882505353289769141\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ccijustice.org/find-your-local-rr-hotline\">Find the Rapid Response Network that serves your community.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s possible that the Rapid Response Network in your city has already checked out the reported ICE sighting you’re seeing on your feed — so by calling them, you can get information from folks who are at the scene. You could also be \u003ca href=\"https://library.witness.org/product/verify-ice-raids/\">alerting them to an ICE sighting\u003c/a> that isn’t already on their radar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco community organization \u003ca href=\"https://www.missionaction.org/\">Mission Action\u003c/a> urged people to avoid sharing unverified information, with Executive Director Laura Valdez saying that such rumors “can unnecessarily heighten fear and confusion” and that communities should trust Rapid Response Networks to “verify reports and share clear, actionable updates.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The organization said that anyone directly witnessing ICE activity can contact the 24-hour San Francisco hotline at 415-200-1548.

Keep in mind that \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/24/tech/musk-twitter-blue-check-mark/index.html\">users of social media platform X can purchase “blue check marks\u003c/a>,” so a blue check alone isn’t proof of reliability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://sites.google.com/view/reverse-images/home\">Google’s reverse image search\u003c/a> can be a \u003ca href=\"https://firstdraftnews.org/long-form-article/too-much-information/\">quick way\u003c/a> to see where a photo has been used on the internet. For example, an image purporting to show a recent “ICE raid” could be, in fact, an archive image from another year entirely.

How can I recognize an ICE agent in real life or in a video?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>ICE agents can sometimes wear uniforms or gear that \u003cem>suggests \u003c/em>they are police officers or probation officers, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclusocal.org/en/icenotwelcome\">the American Civil Liberties Union Southern California\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This can sometimes convince people to let \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/02/21/516488396/without-warrants-immigration-agents-often-pose-as-police-officers\">agents enter a home without a warrant\u003c/a>. In 2018, several San Francisco police commissioners \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11642905/s-f-police-commissioners-want-ice-agents-to-stop-impersonating-police\">called on ICE\u003c/a> to stop \u003ca href=\"https://www.immigrantdefenseproject.org/raids-foia/\">these practices\u003c/a>, saying it interfered with local policing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE agents can also wear civilian clothes or plain dark clothing with a bulletproof vest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police officers, however, usually wear a more specific-looking uniform “\u003ca href=\"https://www.aclusocal.org/en/icenotwelcome\">with identifying insignias,\u003c/a>” ACLU SoCal said.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_12019638,news_12024082,forum_2010101908578\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Q. What is the difference between ICE and CBP?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, and Customs and Border Protection, CBP, are both immigration enforcement agencies within the Department of Homeland Security. \u003ca href=\"https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/LSB/LSB10362\">ICE conducts enforcement within the U.S.\u003c/a> and manages detention and deportation operations. CBP conducts inspections at all U.S. “ports of entry” – at land borders, seaports, and airports. And the Border Patrol, which is part of CBP, polices the land borders in between the official ports of entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE and CBP officers generally need an administrative warrant (signed by an ICE or CBP supervisor) in order to arrest a person. However they can make an arrest without a warrant if they see a person illegally entering the country, or they have “reason to believe” a person is here illegally and likely to escape before they can get a warrant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You have more protections if the encounter happens when you are in your home. Under the Fourth Amendment, if ICE or CBP agents (or any law enforcement officer) comes to your door and wants to enter your home, they either need to present a warrant signed by a judge (not just an administrative warrant from their agency) – or they need your consent. \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/2025/01/27/ice-warrants-undocumented-immigrants-raids-arrests\">Agents could also technically enter without permission if they report hearing an emergency\u003c/a> happening inside the home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you don’t want the agent to come in, legal advocates say, you don’t have to open the door unless the agent shows you a judicial warrant. (Advocates suggest asking the agent to slide the warrant under the door or hold it up to a window where you can read it.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar to ICE, CBP officers \u003ca href=\"https://careers.cbp.gov/s/career-paths/ofo/cbpo\">may have “police” written prominently on their uniform\u003c/a>. “U.S. Customs and Border Protection” may be written on their sleeve or on their back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal law grants additional powers to CBP within \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/border-zone\">a wide border zone\u003c/a> that the government has defined as 100 air miles from an “external boundary” of the U.S. Within that zone – which covers most coastal cities in the country, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11801962/immigration-advocates-call-sending-border-patrol-agents-to-sanctuary-cities-a-scare-tactic\">San Francisco\u003c/a> – \u003ca href=\"https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/LSB/LSB10559\">CBP agents can stop and question people\u003c/a>, and board vessels, buses and trains to search for unauthorized immigrants without a warrant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, you do still have constitutional protections, including the right to remain silent so you don’t say something that could incriminate you. Immigration officers cannot detain you without “reasonable suspicion” of a crime, and they cannot search you or your belongings without “probable cause” – unless you give your consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/2025/01/27/ice-warrants-undocumented-immigrants-raids-arrests\">Read more from Axios on how ICE agents apply warrants to entering a home and making arrests\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Hotlines for ICE encounters and sightings:\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://immigrants.sf.gov/help/rapid-response\">San Francisco’s 24-hour hotline\u003c/a> to either report ICE sightings or get legal assistance: \u003cstrong>415-200-1548\u003c/strong>.

Last week, a San Francisco middle student’s report that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/student-reports-ice-agent-asked-for-id-on-muni-bus-sfusd/\">they were questioned by an immigration agent on a city Muni bus\u003c/a> prompted \u003ca href=\"https://missionlocal.org/2025/01/sfpd-confirms-no-ice-activity-on-muni-but-sfusd-helped-to-spread-rumor/\">SFUSD officials to send emails to local families warning them about the alleged incident\u003c/a> — even though representatives for both ICE and the San Francisco Sheriff’s Office ultimately denied any involvement in the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it \u003cem>can \u003c/em>be difficult to distinguish fact from rumor while you’re scrolling, especially when the news is concerning.

What is the difference between ICE and CBP?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, and Customs and Border Protection, CBP, are both immigration enforcement agencies within the Department of Homeland Security. \u003ca href=\"https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/LSB/LSB10362\">ICE conducts enforcement within the U.S.\u003c/a> and manages detention and deportation operations. CBP conducts inspections at all U.S. “ports of entry” – at land borders, seaports, and airports. And the Border Patrol, which is part of CBP, polices the land borders in between the official ports of entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE and CBP officers generally need an administrative warrant (signed by an ICE or CBP supervisor) in order to arrest a person. However they can make an arrest without a warrant if they see a person illegally entering the country, or they have “reason to believe” a person is here illegally and likely to escape before they can get a warrant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You have more protections if the encounter happens when you are in your home. Under the Fourth Amendment, if ICE or CBP agents (or any law enforcement officer) comes to your door and wants to enter your home, they either need to present a warrant signed by a judge (not just an administrative warrant from their agency) – or they need your consent. \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/2025/01/27/ice-warrants-undocumented-immigrants-raids-arrests\">Agents could also technically enter without permission if they report hearing an emergency\u003c/a> happening inside the home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you don’t want the agent to come in, legal advocates say, you don’t have to open the door unless the agent shows you a judicial warrant. (Advocates suggest asking the agent to slide the warrant under the door or hold it up to a window where you can read it.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar to ICE, CBP officers \u003ca href=\"https://careers.cbp.gov/s/career-paths/ofo/cbpo\">may have “police” written prominently on their uniform\u003c/a>. “U.S. Customs and Border Protection” may be written on their sleeve or on their back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal law grants additional powers to CBP within \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/border-zone\">a wide border zone\u003c/a> that the government has defined as 100 air miles from an “external boundary” of the U.S. Within that zone – which covers most coastal cities in the country, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11801962/immigration-advocates-call-sending-border-patrol-agents-to-sanctuary-cities-a-scare-tactic\">San Francisco\u003c/a> – \u003ca href=\"https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/LSB/LSB10559\">CBP agents can stop and question people\u003c/a>, and board vessels, buses and trains to search for unauthorized immigrants without a warrant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, you do still have constitutional protections, including the right to remain silent so you don’t say something that could incriminate you.

Jerry Brown\u003c/a> signed into law Senate Bill 54, the California Values Act, commonly referred to as the state’s sanctuary law. That law bars state and local police from investigating, interrogating, or arresting people for immigration enforcement purposes and limits — but does not entirely prohibit — police cooperation with federal immigration officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kevin De Leon, the former state Senate leader who authored the law, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/09/17/551670840/california-state-senator-speaks-on-recently-approved-sanctuary-state-bill\">told NPR in 2017\u003c/a> that the point of the law was to make clear that the feds cannot enlist local police “as a cog in the Trump deportation machine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “sanctuary” movement goes back to the 1980s when Central American refugees fled civil war and immigrated to the U.S. When they were denied asylum, they sought protection from deportation in churches and other places of worship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, the sanctuary law does not actually refer to a place or territory where immigrants can seek protection. Living in California alone does not shield someone from deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, the law clarifies what state and local law enforcement in California can and cannot do with regard to immigration. For example, the law says that local police cannot detain or keep someone in custody more than 48 hours past their release date just for immigration officials to pick them up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law does not restrict what the federal government can do in the state. To be clear, that means U.S Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) can still arrest and deport undocumented people living in California and other sanctuary jurisdictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The federal government has a lane that they are entitled to move in, they can enforce immigration law,” California Attorney General Rob Bonta said last week during a press conference in San Diego. But “They can’t conscript or force the city or the county or the state law enforcement entities to do their job for them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Who isn’t protected by sanctuary law\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2024/12/sanctuary-cities-san-diego-letter/\">President Trump and his allies\u003c/a> have repeatedly argued that sanctuary laws shield dangerous criminals. They have, at times, pointed to specific crimes committed by undocumented immigrants to argue the sanctuary law puts the greater public at risk. In 2019, for example, Trump pointed to the slaying of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.modbee.com/news/article224103155.html\">police officer in Stanislaus County\u003c/a> to criticize the sanctuary law and demand more funding for border protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s not the whole story. The law says police can tell immigration authorities about an inmate’s upcoming release if that person has been convicted of \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=PEN§ionNum=1192.7\">a serious crime or felony, such as\u003c/a>: murder, rape, kidnapping, robbery and arson, among many others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as some \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2025/01/california-sheriffs-sanctuary-law/\">sheriffs have noted\u003c/a>, there is nothing that stops immigration officials from using jail websites and fingerprints databases to identify people of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is up to ICE to pick up individuals on their release. Between 2018 and 2023, California jails \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2025/01/california-sheriffs-sanctuary-law/\">transferred more than 4,000 individuals\u003c/a> to immigration authorities. At the same time, ICE doesn’t always show up when someone is released from jail or prison. For example, ICE picked up about 80% of undocumented immigrants released from state prisons between 2017 and 2020, according to a 2022 \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB937\">Senate legislative analysis\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is an absurdity to be talking about SB 54 as preventing bad, noncitizens with serious criminal convictions from being turned over to (the Department of Homeland Security), it doesn’t do that,” said Niels Frenzen, a professor at USC’s Gould School of Law and codirector of the school’s immigration clinic. “But those facts are just not part of the political debate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrants who are protected by the sanctuary state law are usually those who are arrested for less serious offenses, such as traffic violations and driving without a license or insurance, Frenzen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Courts upheld California’s sanctuary state law\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After California enacted its Values Act, Trump’s Justice Department took the state to court, \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-files-preemption-lawsuit-against-state-california-stop-interference\">arguing that the state law\u003c/a> “interferes with federal immigration authorities’ ability to carry out their responsibilities under federal law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some immigration attorneys, however, have pointed out that the state law seemed to have little impact on ICE’s ability to do its job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1041431/dl\">the Justice Department, in its 2018 lawsuit,\u003c/a> said that in 2017, ICE apprehended 20,201 unlawfully present people in California, which represented about 14% of all ICE arrests made that year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE was on track to exceed that number in the following year. In the first two months of 2018, after the sanctuary law took effect, it arrested 8,588 people in California, or about 14% of all arrests nationwide, according to a filing in the lawsuit by Trump’s Justice Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2019, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/04/18/714882333/federal-appeals-panel-upholds-california-sanctuary-state-law\">the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled\u003c/a> that the California Values Act did not impede enforcement of federal immigration law. When the Trump administration \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2020/6/16/21291797/supreme-court-trump-immigration-sanctuary-california-values-act\">asked the Supreme Court to review the case\u003c/a>, it refused to do so, leaving the law as is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a separate fight, California sued the Trump administration for its policy to withhold federal law enforcement grants from jurisdictions with sanctuary policies. A federal judge sided with California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Studies show no effect on crime\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Critics of the law have long claimed that the sanctuary state law harms public safety. The Hoover Institution, a conservative think tank at Stanford, for example, \u003ca href=\"https://www.hoover.org/research/different-perspective-governor-newsom-californias-state-state\">has linked the law to the fentanyl epidemic\u003c/a>, noting that a spike in fentanyl-related deaths started happening around 2018, soon after the sanctuary policy went into effect. Whether causation or coincidence, there isn’t much in the way of official research that proves this.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_12023560,news_12024082,news_12016037\"]To prove such a claim, one would have to isolate the sanctuary state law’s specific impact on crime, researchers say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://news.uci.edu/2020/03/05/no-increase-in-crime-under-californias-sanctuary-state-status-uci-study-finds/\">2020 analysis of California’s law\u003c/a> by researchers at UC Irvine examined the state’s 2018 violent and property crime rates and compared them to estimated crime rates had Gov. Brown not signed the sanctuary policy. The study found that the law did not have a significant impact on either violent crime or property crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charis Kubrin, who authored the study, said the takeaway of her research was that changing the state’s sanctuary status is not likely to result in major reductions in crime. “Getting rid of SB 54, for example, is not going to make crime go down because it didn’t cause crime to go up in the first place,” Kubrin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2014673117\">A separate study\u003c/a> by researchers at Stanford and Princeton looked at sanctuary policies across the country and found that these measures reduced the overall number of deportations by one-third, but they did not reduce the number of deportations of people with violent criminal convictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That study also found that these policies don’t have much of a direct effect on crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Conflict expected in ‘sensitive areas’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>During the Biden administration, the federal government had in place a “sensitive areas” order, which discouraged immigration agents from making arrests in places like schools, hospitals, churches and courthouses. Last week, the Trump administration rescinded that order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When ICE engages in civil immigration enforcement actions in or near courthouses it can reduce safety risks to the public,” reads a Jan. 21 memo to staff from ICE Acting Director Caleb Vitello.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sanctuary state law asks officials at the same places to adopt policies to limit public participation with immigration enforcement, such as requesting a warrant from ICE agents before they attempt to arrest anyone. That could create a conflict for local officials if the immigration crackdown in the new administration hits their venue, said Alvaro Huerta, director of litigation and advocacy at Immigrant Defenders Law Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given Trump’s recent rule reversal, Huerta said, “The federal government may attempt some (immigration) enforcement in those spaces, but the state government is asking those spaces to require warrants.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Jerry Brown\u003c/a> signed into law Senate Bill 54, the California Values Act, commonly referred to as the state’s sanctuary law. That law bars state and local police from investigating, interrogating, or arresting people for immigration enforcement purposes and limits — but does not entirely prohibit — police cooperation with federal immigration officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kevin De Leon, the former state Senate leader who authored the law, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/09/17/551670840/california-state-senator-speaks-on-recently-approved-sanctuary-state-bill\">told NPR in 2017\u003c/a> that the point of the law was to make clear that the feds cannot enlist local police “as a cog in the Trump deportation machine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “sanctuary” movement goes back to the 1980s when Central American refugees fled civil war and immigrated to the U.S. When they were denied asylum, they sought protection from deportation in churches and other places of worship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, the sanctuary law does not actually refer to a place or territory where immigrants can seek protection. Living in California alone does not shield someone from deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, the law clarifies what state and local law enforcement in California can and cannot do with regard to immigration. For example, the law says that local police cannot detain or keep someone in custody more than 48 hours past their release date just for immigration officials to pick them up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law does not restrict what the federal government can do in the state. To be clear, that means U.S Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) can still arrest and deport undocumented people living in California and other sanctuary jurisdictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The federal government has a lane that they are entitled to move in, they can enforce immigration law,” California Attorney General Rob Bonta said last week during a press conference in San Diego. But “They can’t conscript or force the city or the county or the state law enforcement entities to do their job for them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Who isn’t protected by sanctuary law\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2024/12/sanctuary-cities-san-diego-letter/\">President Trump and his allies\u003c/a> have repeatedly argued that sanctuary laws shield dangerous criminals. They have, at times, pointed to specific crimes committed by undocumented immigrants to argue the sanctuary law puts the greater public at risk. In 2019, for example, Trump pointed to the slaying of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.modbee.com/news/article224103155.html\">police officer in Stanislaus County\u003c/a> to criticize the sanctuary law and demand more funding for border protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s not the whole story. The law says police can tell immigration authorities about an inmate’s upcoming release if that person has been convicted of \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=PEN§ionNum=1192.7\">a serious crime or felony, such as\u003c/a>: murder, rape, kidnapping, robbery and arson, among many others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as some \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2025/01/california-sheriffs-sanctuary-law/\">sheriffs have noted\u003c/a>, there is nothing that stops immigration officials from using jail websites and fingerprints databases to identify people of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is up to ICE to pick up individuals on their release. Between 2018 and 2023, California jails \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2025/01/california-sheriffs-sanctuary-law/\">transferred more than 4,000 individuals\u003c/a> to immigration authorities. At the same time, ICE doesn’t always show up when someone is released from jail or prison. For example, ICE picked up about 80% of undocumented immigrants released from state prisons between 2017 and 2020, according to a 2022 \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB937\">Senate legislative analysis\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is an absurdity to be talking about SB 54 as preventing bad, noncitizens with serious criminal convictions from being turned over to (the Department of Homeland Security), it doesn’t do that,” said Niels Frenzen, a professor at USC’s Gould School of Law and codirector of the school’s immigration clinic. “But those facts are just not part of the political debate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrants who are protected by the sanctuary state law are usually those who are arrested for less serious offenses, such as traffic violations and driving without a license or insurance, Frenzen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Courts upheld California’s sanctuary state law\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After California enacted its Values Act, Trump’s Justice Department took the state to court, \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-files-preemption-lawsuit-against-state-california-stop-interference\">arguing that the state law\u003c/a> “interferes with federal immigration authorities’ ability to carry out their responsibilities under federal law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some immigration attorneys, however, have pointed out that the state law seemed to have little impact on ICE’s ability to do its job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1041431/dl\">the Justice Department, in its 2018 lawsuit,\u003c/a> said that in 2017, ICE apprehended 20,201 unlawfully present people in California, which represented about 14% of all ICE arrests made that year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE was on track to exceed that number in the following year. In the first two months of 2018, after the sanctuary law took effect, it arrested 8,588 people in California, or about 14% of all arrests nationwide, according to a filing in the lawsuit by Trump’s Justice Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2019, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/04/18/714882333/federal-appeals-panel-upholds-california-sanctuary-state-law\">the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled\u003c/a> that the California Values Act did not impede enforcement of federal immigration law. When the Trump administration \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2020/6/16/21291797/supreme-court-trump-immigration-sanctuary-california-values-act\">asked the Supreme Court to review the case\u003c/a>, it refused to do so, leaving the law as is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a separate fight, California sued the Trump administration for its policy to withhold federal law enforcement grants from jurisdictions with sanctuary policies. A federal judge sided with California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Studies show no effect on crime\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Critics of the law have long claimed that the sanctuary state law harms public safety. The Hoover Institution, a conservative think tank at Stanford, for example, \u003ca href=\"https://www.hoover.org/research/different-perspective-governor-newsom-californias-state-state\">has linked the law to the fentanyl epidemic\u003c/a>, noting that a spike in fentanyl-related deaths started happening around 2018, soon after the sanctuary policy went into effect. Whether causation or coincidence, there isn’t much in the way of official research that proves this.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Brown not signed the sanctuary policy. The study found that the law did not have a significant impact on either violent crime or property crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charis Kubrin, who authored the study, said the takeaway of her research was that changing the state’s sanctuary status is not likely to result in major reductions in crime. “Getting rid of SB 54, for example, is not going to make crime go down because it didn’t cause crime to go up in the first place,” Kubrin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2014673117\">A separate study\u003c/a> by researchers at Stanford and Princeton looked at sanctuary policies across the country and found that these measures reduced the overall number of deportations by one-third, but they did not reduce the number of deportations of people with violent criminal convictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That study also found that these policies don’t have much of a direct effect on crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Conflict expected in ‘sensitive areas’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>During the Biden administration, the federal government had in place a “sensitive areas” order, which discouraged immigration agents from making arrests in places like schools, hospitals, churches and courthouses. Last week, the Trump administration rescinded that order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When ICE engages in civil immigration enforcement actions in or near courthouses it can reduce safety risks to the public,” reads a Jan. 21 memo to staff from ICE Acting Director Caleb Vitello.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sanctuary state law asks officials at the same places to adopt policies to limit public participation with immigration enforcement, such as requesting a warrant from ICE agents before they attempt to arrest anyone. That could create a conflict for local officials if the immigration crackdown in the new administration hits their venue, said Alvaro Huerta, director of litigation and advocacy at Immigrant Defenders Law Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given Trump’s recent rule reversal, Huerta said, “The federal government may attempt some (immigration) enforcement in those spaces, but the state government is asking those spaces to require warrants.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On Feb. 6, U.S. District Judge John Coughenour of Washington State \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/us/federal-judge-trump-birthright-citizenship.html\">issued a preliminary injunction against the executive order\u003c/a>, which means the order is frozen until the courts reach a final decision — which could take weeks or even months. Coughenour had previously blocked the order for a period of 14 days back in January, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12023740/federal-judge-temporarily-blocks-trumps-executive-order-ending-birthright-citizenship\">after declaring that the order is “blatantly unconstitutional.”\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the \u003ca href=\"https://abcnews.go.com/US/judge-future-trumps-order-blocking-birthright-citizenship/story?id=118460936\">second preliminary injunction a federal judge has issued\u003c/a> against the executive order and the Trump administration could soon face more legal obstacles, as more than 22 states — \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12023126/california-leaders-to-sue-trump-over-birthright-citizenship-border-policies\">including California\u003c/a> — have filed different lawsuits against the order in order to overturn it completely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jump straight to:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#A\">What is birthright citizenship?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#B\">Who is affected by Trump’s executive order?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#C\">Will this order strip anyone of their existing American citizenship?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#D\">I’m having a baby soon.

The amendment’s first clause states:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Congress first proposed adding the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, it was in response to laws passed by many Southern states after the Civil War that severely restricted the rights of formerly enslaved Black Americans and their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while lawmakers who wrote the amendment were responding to the needs of Black Americans, the Supreme Court — which has the responsibility to interpret what the Constitution actually \u003cem>means \u003c/em>— declared in 1898 that birthright citizenship \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/169/649\">also includes children born to immigrant parents who are not citizens of the United States\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court established this precedent in the landmark case \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12015449/a-129-year-old-san-francisco-lawsuit-could-stop-trump-from-ending-birthright-citizenship\">\u003cem>United States v. Wong Kim Ark\u003c/em>, named for a man born in San Francisco in the 1870s to Chinese immigrant parents\u003c/a>. Wong was denied re-entry into the U.S. after travelling to China to visit his family. Officials insisted that he was not an American citizen but rather a Chinese national — a group essentially banned from coming into the country, due to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.britannica.com/question/What-is-the-Chinese-Exclusion-Act\">Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the legal battle that followed, the government argued that Wong’s citizenship depended not on where he was born but rather on the nationality of his parents. But the Supreme Court didn’t buy that argument and ruled that Wong was a citizen due to the fact that he was born in San Francisco — and added that the 14th Amendment “in clear words and in manifest intent, includes the children born within the territory of the United States of all other persons, of whatever race or color, domiciled within the United States.” \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12015449/a-129-year-old-san-francisco-lawsuit-could-stop-trump-from-ending-birthright-citizenship\">Read more about this landmark birthright citizenship case.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Are there exceptions to birthright citizenship?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Yes, but they only apply in very specific circumstances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the \u003cem>Wong Kim Ark\u003c/em> case, the Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/LSB10214.pdf\">has provided three exceptions to the 14th Amendment\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>If, at the time of your birth, your parents are in the U.S. as high-ranking foreign diplomats who are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

On Feb. 6, U.S. District Judge John Coughenour of Washington State \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/us/federal-judge-trump-birthright-citizenship.html\">issued a preliminary injunction against the executive order\u003c/a>, which means the order is frozen until the courts reach a final decision — which could take weeks or even months. Coughenour had previously blocked the order for a period of 14 days back in January, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12023740/federal-judge-temporarily-blocks-trumps-executive-order-ending-birthright-citizenship\">after declaring that the order is “blatantly unconstitutional.”\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the \u003ca href=\"https://abcnews.go.com/US/judge-future-trumps-order-blocking-birthright-citizenship/story?id=118460936\">second preliminary injunction a federal judge has issued\u003c/a> against the executive order and the Trump administration could soon face more legal obstacles, as more than 22 states — \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12023126/california-leaders-to-sue-trump-over-birthright-citizenship-border-policies\">including California\u003c/a> — have filed different lawsuits against the order in order to overturn it completely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jump straight to:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#A\">What is birthright citizenship?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#B\">Who is affected by Trump’s executive order?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#C\">Will this order strip anyone of their existing American citizenship?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#D\">I’m having a baby soon.

The amendment’s first clause states:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Congress first proposed adding the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, it was in response to laws passed by many Southern states after the Civil War that severely restricted the rights of formerly enslaved Black Americans and their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while lawmakers who wrote the amendment were responding to the needs of Black Americans, the Supreme Court — which has the responsibility to interpret what the Constitution actually \u003cem>means \u003c/em>— declared in 1898 that birthright citizenship \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/169/649\">also includes children born to immigrant parents who are not citizens of the United States\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court established this precedent in the landmark case \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12015449/a-129-year-old-san-francisco-lawsuit-could-stop-trump-from-ending-birthright-citizenship\">\u003cem>United States v. Wong Kim Ark\u003c/em>, named for a man born in San Francisco in the 1870s to Chinese immigrant parents\u003c/a>. Wong was denied re-entry into the U.S. after travelling to China to visit his family. Officials insisted that he was not an American citizen but rather a Chinese national — a group essentially banned from coming into the country, due to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.britannica.com/question/What-is-the-Chinese-Exclusion-Act\">Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the legal battle that followed, the government argued that Wong’s citizenship depended not on where he was born but rather on the nationality of his parents. But the Supreme Court didn’t buy that argument and ruled that Wong was a citizen due to the fact that he was born in San Francisco — and added that the 14th Amendment “in clear words and in manifest intent, includes the children born within the territory of the United States of all other persons, of whatever race or color, domiciled within the United States.” \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12015449/a-129-year-old-san-francisco-lawsuit-could-stop-trump-from-ending-birthright-citizenship\">Read more about this landmark birthright citizenship case.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Are there exceptions to birthright citizenship?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Yes, but they only apply in very specific circumstances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the \u003cem>Wong Kim Ark\u003c/em> case, the Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/LSB10214.pdf\">has provided three exceptions to the 14th Amendment\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>If, at the time of your birth, your parents are in the U.S. as high-ranking foreign diplomats who are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

But based on the circumstances the order describes, these are families that could be affected by Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Families where both parents have no legal immigration documents at the time of their baby’s birth.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Families where both parents only have a temporary legal status, which could include: \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status\">Temporary Protected Status (TPS)\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/DACA\">Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals\u003c/a> (DACA), H1-B holders, a student J-1 visa or an H-2A visa for agricultural workers, another temporary visa or humanitarian parole.

These injunctions come from separate lawsuits against the federal government and they prevent the administration from enforcing the order until the courts reach a decision in the respective cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As long as these preliminary injunctions stays in place, the Trump administration cannot enforce the executive order and deny birthright citizenship to children born after Feb. 19 who don’t have at least one parent who is a citizen or a lawful permanent resident. And more preliminary injunctions could be announced in the coming weeks as there’s dozens of other lawsuits from states and civil rights groups seeking to overturn the order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Justice, which is representing the federal government has repeatedly stated that \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/birthright-citizenship-donald-trump-lawsuit-immigration-9ac27b234c854a68a9b9f8c0d6cd8a1c\">it will “vigorously defend” Trump’s order\u003c/a>, and is expected to appeal any decision that tries to stop the order. A case would have to make it up the different levels in the judicial system before reaching the Supreme Court, which would then make a binding, permanent decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We will be updating this section to include the latest information from the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
