Stay informed and aware

Bay Area news media are reporting that more than 100 federal agents, including from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, have been dispatched to Coast Guard Base Alameda and will begin arriving tomorrow, Thursday, October 23. The Alameda Police Department (APD) is not a part of this operation, and APD does not enforce federal immigration laws or related civil warrants.

If you witness Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity or need assistance, call the Alameda County Immigration Legal and Education Partnership (ACILEP) at 510-241-4011 for rapid response and immigration legal services.

Everyone has the right to peacefully protest, but we urge people to avoid direct interaction with federal law enforcement. For resources and information about protecting your rights, please visit the City’s website: https://www.alamedaca.gov/rights.

The City of Alameda is committed to the values of dignity, inclusivity, and respect for all individuals, regardless of ethnic or national origin, gender, race, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, or immigration status.
