Long Beach adopted sanctuary-city resolutions limiting cooperation between local police and federal immigration enforcement. The city follows California SB 54, the statewide TRUST Act, restricting ICE coordination.
The Long Beach City Council passed sanctuary-city resolutions reaffirming that Long Beach Police Department officers do not enforce federal civil immigration law, do not inquire about immigration status during routine contacts, and do not detain individuals on ICE administrative requests absent a judicial warrant. California SB 54, codified as the California Values Act in Government Code 7284, sets the statewide floor that LBPD follows. The Long Beach Office of Equity coordinates immigrant-resident outreach, language access, and Know-Your-Rights materials. The Justice Fund offers limited deportation defense referrals for residents.
Officers violating the policy face internal discipline. Federal preemption challenges to sanctuary laws have generally failed in the Ninth Circuit, leaving SB 54 and the local resolution intact.
