Contra Costa College reaffirmed its commitment to supporting all students and maintaining a safe campus environment amid immigration enforcement concerns. Administrator Kimberly advised that although no immigration enforcement activity has occurred on campus to date, students should remain calm and promptly contact Contra Costa College Police Services at 510.215.4858 if they observe such activity.
The college has established clear procedures to notify students and employees about any immigration enforcement actions on campus. Notifications will include the date, time, and location of the event, along with information on available support services, ensuring the college community remains informed and supported.
This policy aligns with California Senate Bill 98 and Assembly Bill 49, which mandate timely communication and protocols to protect immigrant students and employees. Furthermore, the Contra Costa Community College District’s Resolution 1S, as well as California Assembly Bill 21 and Senate Bill 54, prohibit the use of state and local resources to support certain federal immigration enforcement activities.
Additional resources and guidance are accessible through Contra Costa College’s online campus resource guide. The college’s proactive measures demonstrate its dedication to a resilient and inclusive educational environment.
