A resolution to evaluate how data on undocumented immigrants and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) program participants is collected, stored, and protected passed at the Riverside County Board of Supervisors meeting. Supporters argue the resolution is a step towards providing resources for vulnerable immigrant populations, while critics claim it undermines federal law and aligns the county with sanctuary policies.

The resolution also directs county employees to identify existing funding sources to assist law-abiding immigrants facing deportation proceedings. It also calls for the creation of a website compiling immigration-related resources for public access. "By exploring funding sources and creating programs to assist them, we're leveling the playing field and giving them the tools they need to navigate the challenges they face," said Desmond Prescott, a Perris resident.
"We are going to have some accountability, guys, for a change under the Trump administration. I am pissed about what you guys have done," said Errol Koschewitz, of Riverside County.
