Let's not let Contra Costa remain one of the few Bay Area counties that have not passed a similar resolution, unlike neighboring counties such as Alameda, San Mateo, San Francisco, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, and Sonoma, which all have similar binding resolutions in effect. As the main immigration hub in Northern California, this is especially important for the county and the larger Bay Area region.
