Twain Harte operates under California's statewide SB 54 TRUST Act, which limits how Tuolumne County Sheriff and local agencies cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
California Government Code 7284 et seq. (the California Values Act / TRUST Act, enacted as SB 54) restricts state and local law enforcement from using resources for federal civil immigration enforcement. The Tuolumne County Sheriff cannot honor most ICE detainers absent a judicial warrant or qualifying serious-crime conviction. Schools, courthouses, and hospitals serving Twain Harte are designated safe-zone facilities under AB 699 and AB 103. The county has not adopted an additional local sanctuary ordinance and has not opted into expanded enforcement, so the statewide standard governs. Federal ICE and Border Patrol still operate independently of the county.
Violations are addressed against agencies, not residents — the state Attorney General audits compliance and can pursue injunctive relief.
