Santa Clara County unanimously bans ICE from county property without a warrant to protect immigrants and maintain public trust.

Santa Clara County has unanimously approved creating "No ICE" zones on county properties, prohibiting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement from using public lands without a warrant. The move, driven by a large immigrant population and fears of raids, includes physical barriers, signage, and a tiered response system. It aims to protect community trust and ensure access to services, following similar actions in Chicago. San Jose is expected to consider a parallel measure soon. While ICE warns such actions could hinder enforcement, officials stress the policies are about safeguarding public spaces and resident safety.
