Haley Webb Instagram – Burbank friends and Union members – please help spread the word. With the amount of dangerous anti-immigrant rhetoric and the ever increasing ICE raids, now is the time to stand up for our neighbors and demand their safety.
Please show up for the undocumented community and ask Burbank City Council to make Burbank a sanctuary city. Please speak at city hall on Tuesday, January 28th, or call / email your support.
If speaking in person, please plan to arrive by 5:30 pm for general comment cards.

A statement from BUSD:
Dear Burbank Unified School District Community,
Given the recent news that the Trump administration has removed the sensitive locations policy, the Burbank Unified School District wants to reiterate our commitment to ensuring all our students, regardless of immigration status, have access to a safe and secure learning environment.
The sensitive locations policy prevented Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from arresting immigrants in places such as schools, churches, and hospitals. It is important to note that this policy change does not change our student’s constitutional rights to education or overrule state constitutional protections.
No student should have to come to school in fear, and no parent should fear for their child’s safety. Our students have a constitutional right to be educated in an accepting, safe environment, regardless of immigration status. No student will be denied enrollment in BUSD due to their or their family’s immigration status.
Information was recently sent to the BUSD community outlining their rights under the law. The district will print a declaration card that any student can carry that outlines their rights, including their right not to answer any questions. The card can be handed to the authorities if approached. However, this should not be necessary at any of our schools as we will not allow Immigration agents on any of our sites. **STATEMENT CONTINUED IN COMMENTS** | Posted on 27/Jan/2025 23:53:48
