SAN DIEGO (JANUARY 22, 2025) - Acting Chair of the County of San Diego, Terra Lawson-Remer released the following statement:

 

“San Diego County is focused on prioritizing the safety and well-being of our entire community. We will not be diverting limited County resources to mass deportations of the hundreds of thousands of local residents who work and go to school, pay taxes, and serve as essential members of our community— as firefighters and first responders, teachers and engineers, childcare providers, nurses, and farmworkers. Instead, our focus remains on public safety: deporting dangerous felons, not farmworkers or families. We will continue cooperating with federal authorities when legally required but we will not undermine trust in local government by targeting our neighbors indiscriminately.”
