“Across the Bay Area, we stand united in our commitment to the dignity, safety and belonging of every community member, regardless of immigration status. As we prepare for the Super Bowl this weekend, and upcoming major sporting events in 2026, our message is simple: Unity over division, power over panic, and care for one another.
To our immigrant community members: You belong here. This region is our collective home, and you are at the heart of what makes the Bay Area one of the most diverse, innovative and vibrant places in the world.
We recognize that many across the Bay Area are experiencing fear and anxiety at this time. As local jurisdictions, we have clear policies in place to protect the safety of all residents across the region, including our immigrant communities. Local law enforcement remains focused on keeping everyone safe and building trust in our communities.
In the Bay Area, our strength lies in each other. When we stay informed and support one another, we make our region safe and strong. Rapid Response Networks, community-based organizations, and county resources continue to be available to support residents across the Bay Area.
