Culver City Police Statement on Immigration Enforcement
We are aware of reports circulating today regarding federal immigration enforcement actions taking place in the Los Angeles region.
The Culver City Police Department wants to reassure our community that we do not participate in immigration enforcement activities or deportation sweeps.
On March 27, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2017-R025(PDF, 2MB) , declaring the City of Culver City to be a sanctuary city for all its residents regardless of immigration status. Further, the Culver City Police Department is bound by state law California Values Act/SB 54, which prohibits the sharing of information with immigration authorities and the participation in enforcing immigration laws (with rare exceptions for violent felonies or court orders). Along with following state law, the Culver City Police Department has robust policies(PDF, 255KB) that strictly prohibit the enforcement of immigration laws and the sharing of data or information with immigration authorities.
We do not inquire about a person’s immigration status when responding to calls for service. Our focus remains on enforcing state and local laws and serving and protecting everyone who lives, works, or visits Culver City.
We stand by our commitment to ensuring that fear of immigration status does not deter anyone from seeking assistance or reporting crime. Every member of our community deserves to feel safe and supported.
