Colleagues Memo: Prohibiting the Use of City Properties for Civil Immigration Enforcement Purposes and Related Policies to Provide Resources for City Property Owners, Businesses and Residents
On February 3, 2026, the City of Santa Clara adopted a resolution proh ibiting the useof city-owned property for civil immigration enforcement by the federal government. In addition, the resolution instructed staff to provide signage templates for property owners, businesses, and residents to "delineate the non-public areas of the property in which they wish to restrict activities related to civil immigration enforcement", as well as "know your rights" materials. That resolution is attached.
We hereby ask that City Staff evaluate the adopted Santa Clara policy and bring a similar policy resolution to Sunnyvale City Council by June 1. This resolution should include both a prohibition on the use of City-owned land for civil immigration enforcement, as well as the similar signage templates and "know your rights" materials.
Sincerely,
Linda Sell, Councilmember, District 1
