Summary:
The attached resolution affirms the City of Santa Fe’s (“City”) commitment to past resolutions
supporting immigrant communities in Santa Fe and declares support for the City of Santa Fe’s
police and Fire departments as they provide the services reflecting the policies established by these
resolutions . The past resolutions noted in this legislation are Resolution Nos. 1985-129, 1999-06,
2014-82, and 2017-19. Each of these resolutions establishes the City’s history of upholding the
public policy position of welcoming and supporting immigrant communities.
In addition to this broad policy stance, Resolution Nos. 1985-129, 1999-06, and 2017-19 specify
ways the City operationalizes non-discrimination and inclusive policies toward Santa Fe’s
residents. This includes Resolution No. 1985-129’s declaration that “no municipal resources will
be used to identify or apprehend any non-citizen resident on the sole basis of immigration status,
unless otherwise lawfully required to do so” and Resolution No. 1999-06’s position that “no
municipal resources will be used to identify or apprehend any non-citizen resident on the sole basis
of immigration status, unless otherwise lawfully required to do so.”
Further, the resolution encourages all residents to use the public safety resources of law
enforcement and for emergency medical care. Last, the resolution asks residents to fact check
information regarding federal immigration agents in Santa Fe before sharing broadly in order to
prevent the spread of misinformation in Santa Fe’s Community.
