Message from the City About Immigration Enforcement

The City of Encinitas recognizes the concerns and uncertainty that federal immigration actions may create for members of our community. The City of Encinitas commits to supporting our residents by addressing their needs through communication and cooperation. We remain dedicated to listening to residents, providing factual and timely information, and taking appropriate action within the City's legal jurisdiction. The City will continue to monitor federal immigration activity and timelines, seek details of enforcement activity through requests under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and respond to the concerns of our community.

To support these commitments, the City is taking steps to provide residents with information and resources. These efforts include establishing a dedicated email address ([email protected]) for residents to share information or concerns regarding federal immigration enforcement activity within the community; enhancing the City's webpage with information and resources for affected individuals and families; partnering with trusted community organizations and support groups to strengthen communication and collaboration; continued cooperation with Congressman Levins office; and researching and drafting two proposed ordinances addressing the use of City property and resources for federal immigration enforcement and analyzing additional due process and civil rights safeguards.

Through these efforts, the City will continue to respond to emerging community needs, provide updates on its progress, and take steps within its authority to support the safety, dignity, and well-being of all Encinitas residents.
