You’ll get a closer look at how cities and towns—San Rafael, Sausalito, Novato, and others—join these conversations. There’s a big emphasis on transparency and community engagement, especially across the broader Bay Area.
Event Details and Forum Format
Marin County Supervisor proceedings will bring together residents from all over the county—Larkspur, Tiburon, Mill Valley, San Anselmo, Fairfax, Corte Madera, and San Rafael. The annual TRUTH Act forum reviews local interactions with federal immigration authorities and gives the public a clear data snapshot.
Board President Eric Lucan will moderate the session. The forum will feature data from January 1 to December 31, 2025, and invite public comment; the Board won’t take any action at this event.
What to Expect at the Forum
- Date, time, and place: 5 p.m. on March 10, at the Showcase Theater in the Marin Center, San Rafael.
- Data focus: Interactions with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in 2025, plus figures from the previous year for comparison.
- Key speaker: Marin County Board President Eric Lucan as moderator.
- Public participation: You can comment in person, by videoconference, or by email.
- Access and livestream: The forum will stream live on the County website, the Community Media Center of Marin, and Channel 27 for Comcast and AT&T U-verse viewers.
Policy Context and Local Compliance
At the heart of this forum sits Marin County’s commitment to California’s SB 54, the California Values Act. The Sheriff’s Office says it doesn’t arrest people for civil immigration violations, issue ICE holds, notify ICE of releases, interview people for immigration enforcement, transfer people for immigration enforcement, or ask about immigration status.
Since 2020, ICE hasn’t housed detainees in the secure Marin County Jail. The county shares information with ICE only for serious or violent crimes—murder, rape, kidnapping, or felony child abuse.
These policies shape how towns from San Rafael to Sausalito handle public safety and state law. To keep things coordinated, Marin County’s Office of the County Executive put together a cross-departmental work group focused on communities affected by federal executive actions.
This collaboration stretches across Novato, Mill Valley, Tiburon, and the smaller towns that give Marin its character. The aim? Align county services with local values and keep communication open, whether you’re in the flatlands near San Rafael or the hills above Fairfax.
Participation Access and How to Comment
If you can’t make it in person, there are plenty of ways to join in or follow along. The forum will be online, and Spanish interpretation is available for virtual participants, so nobody’s left out—Marin’s a diverse place, after all.
The Board of Supervisors’ office has posted instructions and translation options on their website. Folks from Tiburon to Fairfax can jump in and take part in the process.
How to Submit Public Comment
- In person: You can attend the session at the Marin Center’s Showcase Theater in San Rafael.
- Via videoconference: If traveling to San Rafael’s not ideal, just join remotely—details are on the Board of Supervisors’ page.
- By email: Email your comments by noon on March 9, 2026, and Board members will get them for consideration.
This TRUTH Act forum centers on transparency and community input. Marin County residents—whether you’re in Marinwood, Sausalito, or Novato—can hear how local law enforcement works with federal authorities.
It’s a real chance to weigh in on a process that affects everyone. From Tamalpais Valley to the ranch lands around Larkspur, the event highlights Marin’s effort toward thoughtful, legally grounded governance while federal immigration policy keeps shifting.
