CityCouncil | 2017-02-07 | 5 | Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft noted that the travel ban issue is now at the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether the City has been asked to share any data with the federal government, to which the City Manager responded in the negative. Vice Mayor Vella stated one of the executive orders targets Sanctuary City funding; inquired whether there have been any funding cuts to date, to which the City Manager responded in the negative. In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry regarding what makes Alameda's Sanctuary City Resolution different, the City Manager stated some cities with jails in their jurisdiction have a different perspective; immigrants in jail may have to be reported to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) upon release; Alameda does not have a jail, so it is not an issue; further stated that Alameda does not ask for, or collect, documentation and therefore would not be able to provide any data. Mayor Spencer inquired whether Alameda fingerprints people taken into custody, to which the City Manager responded in the affirmative. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the City submits fingerprints to ICE, to which the City Manager responded in the negative; stated procedures at a jail are very different than when someone is arrested or given a citation.
