Resolution recognizing that San Francisco’s Sanctuary City Ordinance prohibits the use of City resources to assist any federally deployed National Guard personnel or other federal agents engaged in civil immigration enforcement; and reaffirming the City’s enduring commitment to support immigrant communities.

This resolution reaffirms San Francisco's Sanctuary City Ordinance (Administrative Code, Chapter 12H, 1989) and Due Process for All Ordinance (Administrative Code, Chapter 12I, 2013). It explicitly prohibits the use of City funds, personnel, or resources to assist any federal agency, including federally deployed National Guard personnel, in civil immigration enforcement, unless required by federal or state law or court order. The resolution, sponsored by Supervisors Mahmood, Chen, Walton, Sauter, Chan, Fielder, and Melgar, emphasizes the City's commitment to supporting immigrant communities and safeguarding local autonomy, while allowing cooperation for non-immigration activities like disaster response. This item is scheduled for the Board of Supervisors Meeting on November 18, 2025.

This resolution reinforces protections for immigrant residents by ensuring City resources are not used for federal civil immigration enforcement, aiming to foster trust and safety within these communities.
