[ARCHIVED] Statement of Humboldt County’s Support for All Humboldt County Community Members

County of Humboldt logo

The following is a statement on behalf of the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors:

“We acknowledge the climate of concern within our community. Many residents have expressed deep apprehension about the hateful rhetoric and the growing divide currently evidenced across our nation–concerns that we fully share.

We seek to assure our community that we will continue to stand firmly in support of our family members, friends, co-workers, and neighbors, no matter where they are from, what language they speak, who they love, how they worship, or how they vote.

As local government and community leaders, we specifically and unequivocally reaffirm our commitment to supporting all residents in our community. A relationship of trust between individuals and local agencies, including law enforcement and first responders, schools, hospitals, and service organizations, is essential to carrying out the basic functions of our community and assuring that all residents feel safe and healthy, and have access to the resources necessary to help make our community a safer and healthier place for all. We will ensure transparency of all immigration enforcement action conducted within our community. We acknowledge that trust cannot be cultivated or maintained when the county cooperates with ICE.

We commit to taking all necessary steps to ensure that this trust remains intact and that county and elected officials within the County of Humboldt make every effort to safeguard justice and equity for everyone. We stand prepared to assert and defend these commitments, including through multiple layers of legal and policy protections already in place at the state and local levels:

  • County of Humboldt’s Sanctuary Ordinance (Measure K Ordinance 2618): We reaffirm our support for Measure K, our Sanctuary Ordinance.
  • California Values Act (SB 54): This act prohibits state and local police from using funds or personnel to support immigration enforcement. This includes preventing police from asking about an individual’s immigration status, sharing a person’s personal information with immigration authorities, or arresting anyone only for having a deportation order or for most other immigration violations.
  • TRUTH Act (AB 2792): Ensures transparency and oversight regarding local law enforcement’s communication with federal immigration authorities.
  • TRUST Act (AB 4): Limits the circumstances under which local law enforcement can detain individuals on behalf of federal immigration authorities.

Whatever the future holds, we are resilient and ready to meet any challenges presented to our community. We, the County of Humboldt’s elected officials, remain committed to ensuring that our county is a place where all individuals are valued for their unique contributions and where every resident can live without fear." 

Community members are encouraged to contact your district’s supervisor if you have questions about laws in place to support all Humboldt County residents, including Humboldt County’s Sanctuary Ordinance.

You may also reach out to the Humboldt County Human Rights Commission, whose primary purpose is to recommend actions to the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors to address issues related to human rights in Humboldt County. The Humboldt County Human Rights Commission may be reached by email at hhr@co.humboldt.ca.us or by calling their toll-free voicemail line at 1-866-809-4373.

Apoyo del Condado de Humboldt a todos los miembros de la comunidad del Condado de Humboldt


La siguiente es una declaración en nombre de la Junta de Supervisores del Condado de Humboldt:

“Nosotros, los abajo firmantes, escribimos para abordar el clima de preocupación dentro de nuestra comunidad. Muchos residentes han expresado su profunda aprensión por la retórica de odio y la creciente división que se evidencia actualmente en nuestra nación, preocupaciones que compartimos plenamente. Queremos asegurar a nuestra comunidad que seguiremos apoyando firmemente a nuestros familiares, amigos, compañeros de trabajo y vecinos, sin importar de dónde sean, qué idioma hablen, a quién amen, qué religión profesen o cómo voten.

Como gobierno local y líderes comunitarios, reafirmamos específica e inequívocamente nuestro compromiso de apoyar a todos los residentes de nuestra comunidad. Una relación de confianza entre los individuos y las agencias locales, incluyendo la aplicación de la ley y los primeros en responder, escuelas, hospitales y organizaciones de servicios, es esencial para llevar a cabo las funciones básicas de nuestra comunidad y asegurar que todos los residentes se sientan seguros y saludables, y tengan acceso a los recursos necesarios para ayudar a hacer de nuestra comunidad un lugar más seguro y saludable para todos. Garantizaremos la transparencia de todas las medidas de aplicación de las leyes de inmigración que se lleven a cabo en nuestra comunidad. Reconocemos que no se puede cultivar ni mantener la confianza cuando el condado coopera con el ICE.

Nos comprometemos a tomar todas las medidas necesarias para garantizar que esta confianza permanezca intacta y que los funcionarios electos del condado de Humboldt hagan todo lo posible para salvaguardar la justicia y la equidad para todos. Estamos preparados para afirmar y defender estos compromisos, incluso a través de múltiples capas de protecciones legales y políticas ya existentes a nivel estatal y local:

  • Ordenanza Santuario del Condado de Humboldt (Medida K Ordenanza 2618): Reafirmamos nuestro apoyo a la Medida K, nuestra Ordenanza Santuario.
  • Ley de Valores de California (SB 54): Esta ley prohíbe a la policía estatal y local utilizar fondos o personal para apoyar la aplicación de las leyes de inmigración. Esto incluye impedir que la policía pregunte sobre el estado de inmigración de una persona, comparta información personal de una persona con las autoridades de inmigración o detenga a alguien sólo por tener una orden de deportación o por la mayoría de las demás infracciones de inmigración.
  • Ley TRUTH (AB 2792): Garantiza la transparencia y la supervisión de la comunicación de las fuerzas de seguridad locales con las autoridades federales de inmigración.
  • Ley TRUST (AB 4): Limita las circunstancias en las que las fuerzas del orden locales pueden detener a personas en nombre de las autoridades federales de inmigración.

Sea lo que sea lo que nos depare el futuro, somos resistentes y estamos preparados para afrontar cualquier reto que se presente a en nuestra comunidad. Nosotros, los funcionarios electos del Condado de Humboldt, seguimos comprometidos a garantizar que nuestro condado sea un lugar donde todas las personas sean valoradas por sus contribuciones únicas y donde cada residente pueda vivir sin miedo.” 

Se anima a los miembros de nuestra comunidad a ponerse en contacto con el supervisor de su distrito si tiene preguntas sobre las leyes en vigor para apoyar a todos los residentes del Condado de Humboldt, incluyendo la Ordenanza Santuario del Condado de Humboldt.

También puede comunicarse con la Comisión de Derechos Humanos del Condado de Humboldt, cuyo propósito principal es recomendar acciones a la Junta de Supervisores del Condado de Humboldt para tratar asuntos relacionados con los derechos humanos en el Condado de Humboldt. Puede ponerse en contacto con la Comisión de Derechos Humanos del Condado de Humboldt por correo electrónico en hhr@co.humboldt.ca.us o llamando a su línea gratuita de buzón de voz al 1-866-809-4373.
