Alameda County Adopts ICE Free Zones, Immigration Response Plan in Unanimous Vote

The Alameda County Board of Supervisors sent a clear signal on immigration enforcement Tuesday, unanimously adopting a policy that prohibits the use of county-owned or controlled properties for federal civil immigration staging or processing—joining a growing regional movement to define the boundaries between local government and federal enforcement.

  • Board establishes "ICE Free Zones" on all county properties, banning use for civil immigration enforcement staging (5-0).

  • Immigration enforcement response plan directs unified training, reporting protocols, and interagency coordination across departments.

  • District Attorney reports 261 trafficking survivors served in 2025 as Board proclaims January as Human Trafficking Prevention Month.

  • Alameda Alliance for Health honored for 30 years of service; now covers 400,000 members with new dual-eligible plan.

  • Labor agreements with UAPD and ACMEA advance with first readings on MOU and salary ordinance amendments.

  • Green building ordinance update introduced to strengthen sustainability requirements for county projects.

The centerpiece of Tuesday's meeting was Item 51, a two-part policy package that directs county departments to establish unified protocols for responding to immigration enforcement activities and formally designates all county-owned and controlled properties as "ICE Free Zones."
