Renton City Council immigration enforcement policy
Overview
The Renton City Council is evaluating measures to restrict U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) civil immigration activities on city-owned buildings and property.
While a public safety committee recently recommended against passing a formal ordinance due to a lack of enforcement capability, officials are developing policies to guide city employees. Councilmember James Alberson noted that while local police cannot legally interfere with federal law enforcement, a policy is being established to ensure employees do not aid ICE or allow access to non-public city property. Councilmember Valerie O’Halloran stated that staff are working on guidelines to help employees navigate potential encounters and avoid putting themselves in harm’s way.
