147 Signage on Roseville city property, including parks, the city campus, or city owned buildings, to 148 bar ICE from staging or engaging in detention activities. (Councilmember Strahan) 149 On January 15, staff posted signage on city property to reflect the existing City practice and long- 150 standing expectations for how parking lots at parks and City facilities are intended to be used 151(Attachment 8). These parking areas are designed to support individuals actively using City amenities, 152 programs, and facilities. The language of the signs are as follows: 153 154 “Parking for Facility (Park) Users Only. Parking lot use is limited to active facility use while on premises. 155 Staging, storage, or other activities are not permitted without a permit.” 156 157 The enforcement of this practice will be impracticable as it relates to external agencies conducting 158 immigration enforcement, namely due to the disparity in the number of personnel deployed by federal 159 law enforcement agencies as well as federal authority over local units of government. As a result, the 160 Roseville Police Department will not respond to calls from the public regarding use of city property for 161 staging or other uses related to immigration enforcement. Instead, we ask that when the public observe 162 a federal agency presence in one of the City’s parking lots, to email complaint@cityofroseville.com with 163 any information on what they saw. The City will document any activity in our parking lots for any potential 164 action by the city or other level of government in the future. 165 166 Providing signage at minimal cost to interested private businesses within Roseville to ban ICE 167 on their private properties. (Councilmember Strahan) 168 Existing templates are available to download for free from numerous websites. An example is below 169(Attachment 9): 170 https://www.ilrc.org/community-resources/know-your-rights/solidarity-signs 171 https://www.ilrc.org/sites/default/files/2025-06/KYR_SIGN_ENGLISH_BLUE.pdf 172 173 However, based on City Council direction, staff can provide signage templates to interested private 174 businesses that wish to ban immigration enforcement officials from their property 175 176 Charge and prosecute any individuals, ICE or otherwise, who break windows, break into 177 vehicles, assault civilians, pull fire alarms, or cause other destruction of property or to persons, 178 to the full extent of the law. (Councilmember Strahan) 179 As has been observed to date, the external agencies conducting immigration enforcement have not 180 been cooperative with local officials. As a result, it may prove difficult for the City to pursue charges 181 against external agencies. The public should call 911 when they see a public safety incident. When an 182 incident is reported, public safety will respond as appropriate and gather available information and 183 evidence. If the facts indicate that a violation of law has occurred, the matter will be referred to the 184 prosecuting attorney for potential filing of charges. 185 186 It should be noted that Ramsey County Attorney John Choi is working on creating a process for 187 coordinating the sharing of information between law enforcement agencies and his office incidents 188 where federal law enforcement officers use deadly force. In addition, the Minnesota Attorney General 189 has created an online portal for the public to report on the actions of federal law enforcement agencies 190 at: https://www.ag.state.mn.us/Office/Communications/2026/01/15_FederalAction.asp 191 192 Issue an executive directive prohibiting city employees and law enforcement from assisting ICE 193 in civil immigration enforcement absent a judicial warrant, and banning participation in joint task 194 forces or cooperative arrangements related to civil immigration enforcement (Citizen Petition) 195 The City is a Statutory Plan B city under state law and does not have the authority to issue an executive 196 directive or order. RPD Policy 413 does not allow the Roseville Police Department to participate in joint 197 task forces related to federal immigration enforcement. 198 199 Prohibit masked or unidentified law enforcement activity within city limits, requiring visible name 200 and agency identification for any enforcement action, and mandating disengagement where this 201 standard is violated (Citizen Petition) 202 This is addressed earlier in the report.
