SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — The County of San Diego is officially rolling out its “Civil Liberties Enforcement and Accountability Rules” preventing federal immigration agents from entering non-public county facilities without a judicial warrant.
The ordinance ensures that county resources are not used to facilitate immigration raids and also reinforces constitutional protections inside county spaces such as health clinics, child welfare offices, libraries, and other public service facilities.
“This is about the rule of law,” said San Diego County Board Chair Terra Lawson-Remer. “County facilities exist to serve the public, not to enable lawless federal enforcement actions. Under CLEAR, federal agents must present a judicial warrant before entering non-public areas. And our residents have the constitutional right to decline to speak with federal agents. We are making those rights visible and clear.”
