Riverside County Board Set to Approve Resolution on Immigrant Civil Rights

Riverside County Board to Vote on Immigrant Civil Rights Resolution

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors is expected to approve a resolution today reaffirming the county’s commitment to safeguarding civil rights for law-abiding immigrants and refugees. The measure states that county agencies will not initiate independent actions based solely on a person’s actual or suspected immigration status.

However, the resolution does not prohibit county agencies from assisting or cooperating with state or federal authorities when required by law. The move comes amid ongoing debates over immigration policies and local government roles in enforcement.

If approved, the resolution would send a strong message of support to the immigrant community, reinforcing that Riverside County prioritizes equal treatment and civil rights protections for all residents, regardless of immigration status.
