“We at the City of #Pasadena are deeply saddened & concerned by the events that have taken place in the region over the past several days surrounding the federal government’s #immigration enforcement activities. Neither the City of Pasadena or the Pasadena Police Dept participate in the enforcement of #federal civil immigration laws, nor do we ask about an individual’s immigration status when responding to calls for service or when delivering City services.”
