📰 News we're reading
• Contra Costa County adopts anti-ICE policy (mercurynews.com) — Contra Costa County supervisors have unanimously adopted a policy limiting local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement unless there's a judicial warrant, aligning with state law and many Bay Area jurisdictions, including Pinole. For Pinole residents, this means county agencies will generally not use local resources to assist ICE, with violations subject to employee discipline and the policy able to take effect immediately.
