Summary
The council made the Due Process and Safety ordinance law, limiting city involvement in federal immigration enforcement and requiring judicial warrants before federal agents enter non-public city facilities. Dozens of advocates testified about fear in immigrant, LGBTQ, and Muslim communities. Speakers also pushed the council to go further, including canceling the city's Flock camera contract.

Impact analysis
No direct cost to the city, though it shapes how police and city staff work with federal agencies.
Immigrant residents, LGBTQ residents, and anyone facing federal enforcement — the ordinance's protections apply to everyone in San Diego.
Some speakers argued the ordinance doesn't go far enough for citizens facing police misconduct, and critics said it doesn't address their concerns about due process.
