Listen to this note:
The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors received an oral report on existing and emerging initiatives to support the immigrant community, which makes up one-third of the local population, in response to growing concerns about potential changes in federal policy and enforcement.
In that regard, Supervisor Ray Mueller asked County Executive Mike Callagy to outline supports that already exist to combat misinformation and alleviate concerns and to prepare to expand outreach and education that may be needed in light of the recent backlash over mass deportations.
