The following was a statement released by City of Pleasant Hill Mayor Sue Noack issued the following statement on immigration enforcement.
The City of Pleasant Hill has long endeavored to be a welcoming place, where people of all ages, races, religions and orientations could feel that they belong. As we have done all along, Pleasant Hill stands with our immigrant communities. We recognize that many in our community are concerned and afraid, following the federal immigration actions in our region and across the country. We want all our community to know that Pleasant Hill’s commitment to all our residents remains resolute.
City services are available to all, regardless of immigration status. The City operates within our legal authority, with a focus on community trust and public safety – not immigration enforcement.
Diversity is a source of strength for a community, and having those with different perspectives allows us to grow both as people and as a City. We will continue to be committed to dignity, fairness, and access for all. We also support your right to express concern through peaceful protest. In times like these, showing up for each other — in voice, in action, and in care — is how we move forward.
Pleasant Hill is, and always will be, a place for everyone.
