Bill > B26-0549

This bill creates new restrictions on how District of Columbia agencies and employees can assist federal immigration enforcement activities, particularly at designated "safe community places." Specifically, the bill prohibits DC government resources from supporting federal immigration enforcement without a judicial warrant, including preventing District-owned vehicles from transporting federal immigration agents, barring surveillance or patrol operations related to immigration enforcement, and restricting immigration law enforcement activities at locations deemed "safe community places." These safe community places include hospitals, schools, libraries, courthouses, shelters, legal service providers, parks, community resource centers, and various social service facilities. The bill requires that DC employees receive training on these new limitations and will take effect after mayoral approval and a 60-day congressional review period. The intent appears to be protecting vulnerable populations and limiting potential disruptions to essential community services by restricting federal immigration enforcement activities in sensitive locations.
