San Mateo County Coalition for Immigrant Rights

Since 2008, SMCCIR has advocated for restorative & transformative justice for immigrants impacted by our immigration and criminal legal systems

[San Mateo County Coalition for Immigrant Rights @SMCCIR]

Exciting news!! Today we celebrate years of relentless advocacy by impacted families and advocates with the passage of an ordinance to end ICE collusion in San Mateo County🎉Today's vote demonstrates a countywide commitment to keeping our families together.

[ICE out of CA @iceoutofca]

In the face of Trump’s mass deportation agenda, CA must set a model of inclusion for the nation.

Our leaders must IMMEDIATELY use every tool at their disposal to protect and defend our immigrant neighbors - and our deepest values.

Read our op-ed by Santa Clara Public Defender, SV NAACP, & De-Bug:
"Prop 36 is falsely guised as an attempt to reduce crime, homelessness and substance use. In reality, the proposition will only exacerbate the issues it claims to address."

Community represented strong today at San Mateo Board of Supervisors to say #NOonProp36!!! Supervisor Mueller actually proposed a resolution to support prop 36😡 - but Black & Brown communities decimated by the drug war weren’t going to allow us to go back!✊🏾💪🏾 @SanMateoDefense

[Supervisor Noelia Corzo @SupNoeliaCorzo]

“In our country, with our Constitution, what’s easier to understand than ‘Get a warrant’?. . . Want to take somebody into custody? Get a warrant.” One of the many salient public comments in support of the ICE ordinance without amendments that the Board passed on Tuesday.

[San Mateo County Coalition for Immigrant Rights @SMCCIR]

"With this ordinance, the Board of Supervisors sends a clear message to our community: We are for a justice system where immigration status, country of origin, language or skin color is not a factor." Thank you @SupNoeliaCorzo https://t.co/HIYZcU3tnG

[Supervisor Noelia Corzo @SupNoeliaCorzo]

I say to our immigrant communities: You are welcome here, and we deeply value your presence and many contributions to the well-being of San Mateo County. #immigrantrights https://t.co/O67zwAYUAh

[WARREN SLOCUM @warrenslocum]

.@SupNoeliaCorzo and I fought off a divisive proposed amendment today and our San Mateo County Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance that prohibits county resources to be used to cooperate with ICE. Many residents spoke on the issue. Thank you for sharing your voices.

Let's continue to stand together and promote policies that benefit all members of our community. Our immigrant community can breathe a little easier knowing that San Mateo County is here to protect them, not harm them. #JusticeForAll

[Supervisor Noelia Corzo @SupNoeliaCorzo]

¡ÚLTIMA HORA! La Junta de Supervisores aprobó en una votación de 4 a 1 la ordenanza sin enmiendas de que no se pueden usar recursos del condado para cooperar con ICE (migración). Gracias a todos que dedicaron gran parte de su día para hablar sobre esta ordenanza.

[Supervisor Noelia Corzo @SupNoeliaCorzo]

UPDATE! The Board of Supervisors passed in a 4 to 1 vote the ordinance without amendments that no county resources can be used to cooperate with ICE. Thank you to the many, many people who spent much of their day to speak on this ordinance.

“I want my community to lose their fear that keeps them in the dark. I want them to speak up and to know that every dollar they pay in taxes gives them the right to have a voice.”

The new ordinance out of San Mateo County could not have been passed without the experience and clear vision of people like Maricela Santos, who has been a leader in advocating for immigrant families and holding officials accountable.

Estoy orgullosa de unirme al @supdavepine, @davidcanepa, y @warrenslocum para pasar la ordenanza, con el apoyo del Sheriff Corpus, que restringe el uso de los recursos del condado de San Mateo para cooperar con ICE. Mucha gente ha estado abogando por esta ordenanza. ¡Sí se pudo!
