Riverside follows the California Values Act and TRUST Act, which restrict local police from spending resources on civil immigration enforcement and limit ICE access to jails and personal data.
California SB 54, the California Values Act, prohibits state and local agencies from using personnel or funds for federal immigration enforcement except in narrow felony-conviction circumstances. The TRUST Act limits ICE detainer compliance. The Riverside Police Department follows these statewide rules, while the Riverside County Sheriff operates the jails under separate policies that still must comply with state law. City staff are barred from inquiring into immigration status when providing local services like libraries, parks, and code enforcement.
Local agencies that violate the Values Act or TRUST Act can face state attorney general oversight, audits, and civil-rights litigation by affected individuals.
