PIEDMONT —
The City Council voted 5-0 Monday before a packed council chamber to declare Piedmont a sanctuary city by resolution. Their action was only a symbolic gesture as explained by the city attorney and police Chief Jeremy Bowers.
“Adopting a resolution does not violate any state or federal laws,” city attorney Michelle Kenyon said. “As long as you do not adopt an ordinance, the resolution set forth just supports sanctuary status.”
“Nothing changes whether the resolution passes or not,” Bowers said, adding that police policy has been in place since before the passage of Senate Bill 54 which took effect Jan. 1 and declared California a sanctuary state.
City Administrator Paul Benoit affirmed earlier that Piedmont is a de facto sanctuary city because police do not ask for citizenship papers. Bowers said the only time ICE would be notified is when an undocumented immigrant commits a severe crime such as larceny, battery, crimes against children, human trafficking and other crimes.

Piedmont Schools & Immigration
Letter from Piedmont Unified School District Superintendent:
October 23, 2025
Dear PUSD Families:
I have received several questions about reports of potential federal action (including Customs/Border Protection) in Alameda this week. Although we do not believe Piedmont will be targeted for any federal presence, I would like to provide a refresher on a communication I provided earlier this year.
We recognize the challenges and uncertainties immigrant families may be facing. At the heart of our work is a commitment to “cultivate a culture of caring, belonging, and trust.” Together, we will continue to work together to create schools that are safe, welcoming spaces where every student is valued, feels secure, and can thrive. To support our community, important information and resource reminders are included below.
We have protocols for responding to ICE agents/federal law enforcement if they come to one of our campuses, and we have trained our school leaders in those protocols.
We will also continue to follow all state and federal laws that require us to:
Protect the right of all children — regardless of citizenship, immigration status, or the immigration status of their parents —to a free and appropriate public education (Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202 [1982]).
Protect the right of all students to be free from discrimination, harassment, violence, and intimidation while at school (California Education Code [EC] 220, 234, et seq.).
Federal and state laws safeguard student education records and personal information. It is important to note that our district does not collect immigration or citizenship information. Moreover, AB 49 prohibits entry of officers conducting immigration enforcement to a school site without a judicial warrant, judicial subpoena or court order. It also prohibits providing any information on students or their households to officers of an agency conducting immigration enforcement. There are many helpful state and county resources available to support our community, but a helpful starting point is the California Department of Justice website, linked [here].
Thank you for your partnership in supporting our students. I will update you as information becomes available.
In Community,
Jennifer Hawn, Ed.D.
Superintendent
(J. Hawn, personal communication, October 23, 2025)
