B 26-0549 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Safe Community Places and Policing Amendment Act of 2025

This bill prohibits the District of Columbia from using its resources - like vehicles or personnel - to assist federal immigration enforcement without a judicial warrant or in emergency situations. It designates locations like schools, hospitals, daycares, shelters, and recreation centers as "Safe Community Places," banning joint immigration enforcement operations there unless a warrant exists or an emergency occurs. The District must also train employees to implement these restrictions consistently across agencies. The law aims to prevent local police from facilitating federal immigration actions at sensitive community sites, ensuring District resources align with local safety priorities.
