A blue state county is set to vote on a resolution to safeguard illegal immigrants from deportations.

The Trump administration is set to launch a historic deportation campaign, with San Diego County set to vote on a resolution to block all cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, including informing them about the release of criminal illegal immigrants, just weeks before.

The new policy surpasses the state's sanctuary law by prohibiting any cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, taking a strict stance against all collaboration.

The new resolution, set for a vote on December 10 as part of the county's dedication to social justice and inclusion, states that the county will not offer support or cooperation to ICE in any way, including granting ICE agents access to individuals, allowing them to use county facilities for investigative interviews, or communicating with ICE regarding individuals' incarceration status or release dates. Additionally, the resolution prohibits the county from spending time or resources responding to ICE inquiries or participating in any civil immigration enforcement activities.

"The resolution states that when federal immigration authorities pressure local law enforcement to carry out deportations, family members are separated and community trust in law enforcement and local government is damaged. This results in witnesses and victims who are undocumented or have loved ones who are undocumented being afraid to seek help from the County, including contacting local law enforcement. This puts the public safety of all San Diegans at risk."

Nora Vargas, the Chair of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, stated that California's current sanctuary laws limiting ICE deportations are not comprehensive enough.

The California Values Act increased protection from deportation for California residents, but it did not fully protect all residents because it permitted agencies to inform ICE of release dates and transfer individuals to ICE without a warrant in certain situations, as stated.

The "loophole" has led to some illegal immigrants being transferred to ICE custody or ICE being notified of their release, which is similar to a 2019 policy adopted in Santa Clara County.

The County avoids treating a group of individuals differently solely on the basis of their immigration status by not actively cooperating with ICE and notifying them of release dates, according to her statement.

The Republican San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond, who opposes the resolution, predicts its passing due to the Democratic majority on the board of supervisors. He considers the move as part of a broader state effort to "Trump-proof" the state and calls it a "knee-jerk" reaction.

The new policy will hinder various agencies from collaborating to ensure everyone's safety, including immigrants who have recently crossed the border. This will negatively impact their communities even more, as stated by the individual in an interview with Planet Chronicle Digital.

"The proposed policy will enable more illegal criminals to remain in San Diego County, evade law enforcement, and commit crimes without cooperation from immigration or ICE. As a result, it will increase the prevalence of crime and endanger the safety of our cities and communities."

Officials in various cities across the U.S. have declared their refusal to collaborate with the Trump administration's upcoming deportation campaign. In Boston, a resolution was passed by the city council this week, which calls for the protection of illegal immigrants from "unjust enforcement actions" and prohibits Boston police from cooperating with ICE.

Some Republican states have pledged to support the administration's plans, with Texas taking a proactive approach by offering land for the deportation operation.
