Monterey Park 市府重申反对不合法移民执法:市长称不会被吓倒、不会沉默

位于加州洛杉矶县的 Monterey Park 市政府11月10日发表声明,重申该市保护全体社区成员的承诺,不论其移民身份,并表明联邦移民执法必须尊重宪法、遵守法律、保护每个人的基本权利。声明说,近期的联邦移民执法行动已在全市居民、家庭、劳工与商家中造成恐惧与不安,该市反对损害宪法权利、侵蚀公众信任的执法做法。
市长 Henry Lo 在声明中说:「Monterey Park 是一座移民城市。我们的家庭、劳工、学生与小商家是这个社区的心脏,他们理应无惧地生活。」他说:「我们不会被吓倒,也不会沉默。市议会与我们的居民站在一起,将继续循一切可行的法律途径,挑战无正当依据、不合法的联邦移民执法。联邦政府不在法律之上,宪法权利不会因一个人的移民身份而消失。」
声明列出该市已采取的法律行动:2025年7月2日,市议会一致投票授权市检察官采取一切必要行动,介入 Vasquez Perdomo 诉 Mullin 案(原名 Vasquez Perdomo 诉 Noem 案),该联邦诉讼挑战南加州的移民执法做法;7月8日,Monterey Park 与洛杉矶市、洛杉矶县及另外几座加州城市共同提出介入动议。此后,联邦法院在该案中作出命令,为无证民事移民逮捕设立重要保障:联邦执法人员必须逐人作出并记录在案的判断,认定当事人有可能在取得逮捕令前逃离;仅凭怀疑当事人无合法移民身份,本身不足以构成这一判断的依据。声明指出,该命令只是初步救济,案件仍在审理中。
声明重申,Monterey Park 警察不执行联邦移民法、不参与联邦移民执法行动;依照加州《加州价值法》(SB 54)、市议会第 2024-R96 号决议与市警局第 413 号政策,警员不询问个人移民身份、不在市监狱扣留联邦移民被扣者。声明呼吁居民在需要时放心向市警局求助,报案与求助者的移民身份不会被询问。
市府还公布了居民求助渠道:该市与华埠服务中心(Chinatown Service Center)合作设有资源与转介中心,为居民与家庭提供个案管理与家庭支持、法律援助转介、医疗转介与劳工权利信息,电话 626-293-8733;目睹联邦执法人员涉嫌不当行为者,可向加州司法部举报门户提交信息、照片与视频。

Monterey Park Reaffirms Opposition to Unlawful Immigration Enforcement: Mayor Says City Will Not Be Intimidated or Silent
The City of Monterey Park, in Los Angeles County, California, issued a statement on November 10 reaffirming its commitment to protecting all members of the community regardless of immigration status, and making clear that federal immigration enforcement must respect the Constitution, uphold the law, and protect the fundamental rights of every person. The city said recent federal enforcement activity has created fear and uncertainty among residents, families, workers and business owners, and that it opposes enforcement practices that undermine constitutional rights and erode public trust.
"Monterey Park is a city of immigrants. Our families, workers, students, and small-business owners are the heart of this community, and they deserve to live without fear," Mayor Henry Lo said in the statement. "We will not be intimidated, and we will not be silent. The City Council stands with our residents and will continue to pursue every available legal avenue to challenge unwarranted and unlawful federal immigration enforcement. The federal government is not above the law, and constitutional rights do not disappear based on a person's immigration status."
The statement listed legal action the city has taken: on July 2, 2025, the City Council voted unanimously to authorize the City Attorney to take all necessary actions to intervene in Vasquez Perdomo v. Mullin (formerly Vasquez Perdomo v. Noem), a federal lawsuit challenging immigration enforcement practices in Southern California; on July 8, 2025, Monterey Park joined the City and County of Los Angeles and several other California cities in filing a motion to intervene. A subsequent federal court order in the case established safeguards against warrantless civil immigration arrests: federal agents must make and document an individualized determination that a person is likely to flee before a warrant can be obtained, and a person's suspected undocumented status, standing alone, cannot serve as sufficient justification. The city noted the order provides preliminary relief and the case remains ongoing.
The statement reaffirmed that Monterey Park police officers do not enforce federal immigration laws or participate in federal immigration enforcement operations; consistent with Senate Bill 54 (the California Values Act), City Council Resolution 2024-R96 and Police Department Policy 413, officers do not question individuals about their immigration status or hold federal immigration detainees in the city jail. Residents, the city said, should never hesitate to contact the Police Department for assistance, and immigration status will not be questioned.
The city also listed resources for residents: through its partnership with Chinatown Service Center, the city offers a Resource and Referral Center connecting residents and families with case management and family support, legal aid referrals, healthcare referrals and workers' rights information, at 626-293-8733. Individuals who witness potentially unlawful conduct by federal agents may submit information, photographs and video through the California Department of Justice reporting portal.
