"The Mayor’s Administrative Instruction is the result of real collaboration between City leadership, Human Resources, and labor. This illustrates that when labor and management come together with shared values and a clear purpose - mountains CAN be moved. City employees are committed to protecting our immigrant communities, and this guidance gives workers clarity, protection, and confidence in how to respond to ICE interactions. Oakland is a Sanctuary City not just in name, but in practice, and this policy defends that commitment by safeguarding public trust, protecting families, and making clear that City resources and employees will not be used to carry out federal immigration enforcement.” - Antoinette Blue 💜

Today, I signed two Executive Orders to protect our immigrant residents and make one thing clear we will not allow our city’s resources to be used against our own people.

These orders establish the Protect the Town Task Force, prohibit federal officials from using Oakland property for immigration enforcement operations, and ensure OPD maintains independence from any federal forces.

This is who we are. Oakland is a city of refuge. A welcoming home. A place where we protect each other.

We will defend our communities. We will uphold our values. And we will always protect the Town.

We were proud to stand today with Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee and other East Bay elected officials and community leaders to say NO ICE IN OAKLAND. Masked agents have no place in our communities, and we will stand unwaveringly with our immigrant neighbors. Oakland workers serve ALL Oakland residents, regardless of race, creed, color, or immigration status.

As Chapter President Antoinette Blue said, "Oakland is one of the most diverse cities in the county. Our diversity is a source of solidarity and strength, and we as city workers are committed to delivering services for ALL Oaklanders, immigrants and non-immigrants alike. We are proud to stand with Mayor Lee in defending our community against this unwanted and dangerous federal overreach."

Love to you all! - Your Oakland Prez 💜
