TOP STORY:
After a debate that lasted over five hours, the Vista City Council late Tuesday night narrowly approved provisions to extend protections for undocumented immigrants.
The “sanctuary city” policies, first brought forward by City Councilmember Corinna Contreras, received a lot of support from community members but not from Mayor John Franklin.
"This is symbolic in a way, but it's not. It's not because it normalizes the disrespect and dismantling of our law enforcement infrastructure,” said Franklin.
The Community Safety and Due Process Resolution includes:
- Disseminating "Know Your Rights" information and making a city-backed website with the same information
- Prohibiting federal law enforcement from conducting immigration enforcement in non-public city-owned or city-controlled properties without a warrant
- Ensuring future city contracts stipulate the prohibition of sharing sensitive information with immigration authorities unless required by law and requiring the same of city-collected information
Franklin told ABC 10News on Tuesday night that there have not been any large-scale immigration raids in Vista during President Trump’s second term.
Contreras called the policies “basic protection” for the city’s residents.
Lifelong Vista resident Felicia Gomez said before the council, "This resolution is the absolute bare minimum for what our city can do at a moment in time when our communities are afraid and looking to you all as city leadership to do everything in your power to stand with us."
