The city of Glendale has officially terminated its agreement with U.S. Homeland Security/ICE to detain individuals, a decision reflecting its commitment to public safety and community trust. This move follows California's SB 54 legislation, which prohibits local resources used for federal immigration enforcement, aligning Glendale with the state's sanctuary status. Despite claiming compliance with state law, rising public sentiment and concerns over treatment of detainees prompted this decision, indicating a shift towards prioritizing community values over federal cooperation.
"After careful consideration, the City of Glendale has decided to end its agreement with U.S. Homeland Security/ICE to house federal immigration detainees... This local decision reflects our core values: public safety, transparency, and community trust."
"Despite the transparency and safeguards the City has upheld, the City recognizes that public perception of the ICE contract - no matter how limited or carefully managed, no matter the good - has become divisive."
