Dear Alameda County District 3 Community,
Keeping Alameda County residents safe is one of my top priorities, and I was proud to join my fellow supervisors in supporting the work of the Alameda County Together for All Ad Hoc Committee by voting last Tuesday, January 27, 2026, to prohibit federal criminal immigration enforcement activities on County property and to develop a countywide response plan. We heard from nearly 100 speakers, both in person and virtually, who expressed their support for the two measures.
The very next day, Wednesday, January 28, 2026, Alameda County departments and agencies came together for a town hall focused on advancing our Vision 2036 goals. The convening provided an opportunity to hear directly from agencies across the County about the work they are leading and how their efforts align with our shared long-term priorities. It was inspiring to hear from County leaders about the progress underway and the collaboration driving this work forward.
Last week, my staff joined volunteers and County residents in participating in the biannual Point-in-Time (PIT) count to survey and document unhoused members of our community. We look forward to reviewing the data so we can better allocate resources to the areas of the County with the greatest need for services and support long-term planning to address homelessness.

As we move into February, we also take time to reflect and celebrate. The Lunar New Year which begins on February 17, 2026 offers an opportunity to honor renewal, family, and cultural traditions that are deeply rooted in many of our Alameda County communities. Black History Month invites us to recognize the resilience, leadership, and lasting contributions of Black and African American leaders, advocates, and residents who have shaped our County’s history and continue to guide our future. In recognition of how our communities are linked together, the Oakland Asian Cultural Center is holding its 4th annual Lunar New Year & Black History Month Celebration: Celebrating Asian & African-American Solidarity on Saturday, February 7, 2026 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

I stand with Minnesota, and all states, counties, and cities who are taking action to protect all residents. This practice of using brute force without regard to established law enforcement practices has intimidated and traumatized our communities.
As a County, we need to have a united voice to do what we can to protect our residents.
Since early last year, the County’s public-facing departments have been acting to make buildings more secure. Now it is time to coordinate and create one unified approach. Beyond securing our county buildings and properties, the training of staff, and providing Know Your Rights information to our residents, we need to partner with our civic, business, faith-based, and community-based organizations to form a safety net against unlawful behavior.
The tide towards justice and democracy is returning and we have a role to play in helping make that happen.

Alameda County Weather Advisory and Resources
If you or someone you know needs immigration or legal help please familiarize yourself with the Alameda County Immigration Legal & Education Partnership (ACILEP) website and hotline, which provide critical information about your rights, with flyers available in English, Spanish (Español), Chinese (中文), Tagalog, and Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt). Please visit their website for details.
Message from the Alameda County Immigration Legal and Education Partnership (ACILEP):
Alameda County Immigration Legal and Education Partnership (ACILEP) is aware of reported plans to deploy federal agents to the San Francisco Bay Area. Our regional rapid response networks are prepared to respond from a place of power, not panic.
Over the past year, we have seen how these operations destabilize neighborhoods, provoke conflict, and place everyone in harm’s way. In these moments, our focus must remain on solidarity, community safety, due process, non-violent resistance, and a refusal to accept authoritarian violence.
These raids harm far more than immigrant communities, they endanger everyone’s constitutional rights and undermine the safety, trust, and economic health of our region. As a community, we must stand together.
For verified updates, follow ACILEP on social media. Please avoid sharing unverified reports, instead, call your local rapid response hotline to confirm or report any ICE activity. The ACILEP hotline - (510) 241-4011 - will remain active and responding throughout the weekend.
If you’re concerned about your rights or safety, visit acilep.org for legal information and resources. The ACLU also provides guidance on What to Do When Encountering Questions from Law Enforcement.
We know this is an uncertain and stressful time. This is a moment for power, not panic. Our focus is on being informed and prepared, not afraid.
If you or someone you know might be impacted, here are five ways to protect yourself and your loved ones right now:
-
Know Your Rights
- You have the right to remain silent.
- You do not have to open the door unless officers present a warrant signed by a judge.
- You have the right to speak to a lawyer.
-
Know Your Rapid Response Hotline Number
- For Alameda County, memorize the ACILEP hotline: (510) 241-4011.
- ACILEP will be operating and monitoring calls throughout the weekend.
- Other Rapid Response Networks in the Bay Area:
- Contra Costa County: (925) 900-5151
- San Francisco: (415) 200-1548
- San Mateo County: (203) 666-4472
- Santa Clara County: (408) 290-1144
- Be prepared to share as many details and photos as possible (Size/strength of operation, Location, Uniform, Time/Date, & Equipment/weapons seen).
-
Create a Safety Plan
- Identify who can care for children, pets, or responsibilities if needed. Here is a guide you can use.
- Memorize important phone numbers and your A#.
- Share key information with trusted loved ones.
-
Gather Important Documents
- Keep passports, IDs, medical records, and immigration documents in a safe place.
- Make copies and, if you have an attorney, carry a signed G-28 form.
-
Minimize Risk
- Follow updates from trusted community organizations.
- Use a PIN passcode on your phone and consider disabling fingerprint or facial recognition.
- Weigh your individual risk during daily activities. Remember that the supreme court has unfortunately recently opened the door for ICE to use racial profiling.
ACILEP stands with you — today and every day.
We are part of a strong, united community that protects one another. Together, we will continue to defend our rights, our families, and our dignity.
Stay informed. Stay ready. Stay in community.
We are with you. Siempre juntos.

Home Match is a free service that helps people looking to rent a room in their home or apartment to connect with community members seeking affordable housing options. Most of their home providers are low-income older adults seeking the economic benefits of increased income through rent, and the social benefits of companionship and/or task exchange to address social isolation and facilitate aging in place. Home seekers range from older adults living on low fixed incomes to service industry employees, young professionals, and students. Home Match vets participants with income verification and background checks, facilitate a matching process that emphasizes social compatibility and lifestyle preferences, support with development of lease agreements that include agreements on shared use of space, and provide ongoing support throughout the duration of the match.Check out this interview with San Leandro Mayor Juan González and Home Match!
