The City of Sacramento is taking an important step to reduce officer involved shootings by encouraging de-escalation. This is a necessary policy for all CA cities. More reason why #ab931 is needed. sacbee.com/news/local/crime/ā¦

A statement in response to ICE raids in Sacramento, including today at the Florin Road Home Depot.
ALT These ICE raids are a violation of civil rights and an affront to democracy. There's a difference between deporting criminals and targeting people at Home Depot looking for work to feed their families. These raids are immoral and inhumane. They are intended to instill fear and chaos and cannot be tolerated in our City. Sacramento has been a Sanctuary City for over 40 years and I will continue to protect ALL its residents.
