The City of South St. Paul is aware of federal immigration enforcement activity taking place throughout the region. We understand that this activity has created fear, uncertainty, and confusion within our community. It is important that community members understand that South St. Paul has no direct, indirect, or ancillary role in civil immigration enforcement.
South St. Paul does not receive or engage in communication or information sharing with the federal government related to civil immigration enforcement. No City department, official, employee, or agency provides assistance or support for civil immigration enforcement, as such assistance or support would be outside the scope of our authority under law.
Our primary focus has been, and will continue to be, to serve every member of this community equally and to do everything within our legal authority, control, and power to foster the safety and wellbeing of our community and community members.
