Local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement
Culver City activists and the Democratic Club have pressed to close loopholes so city staff, data, and resources will not assist federal immigration enforcement, citing concerns about mass deportations and protection of undocumented residents and others. Prior policy limited voluntary data sharing but allowed sharing when required by federal law; technologies such as license-plate readers raised additional data-sharing worries.

This has required regular vigilance to maintain and, not only have police since defied it it by licensing technologies such as Automated License Plate Readers and dash and body cameras from companies that share their data with organizations who may share it with ICE, but the original resolution contained a giant loophole: that Culver City will not share data unless required to by Federal law. Since Trump has promised mass deportations will be carried out with help from local police, it’s past time to codify that our City’s staff, data, and resources will categorically not participate.
