Summary
The County of Marin De-Escalation Response Framework (February 2026) establishes a coordinated, countywide approach to responding to immigration-related enforcement activities and their potential impacts on individuals, families, and communities. Developed by the Office of Equity and the Office of Emergency Management, the framework centers civil and human rights, transparency, equity, and trauma-informed care.
The document outlines a three-stage structure: Ongoing Readiness, De-Escalation Response, and Recovery and Learning. It defines how the County prepares in advance, scales response actions based on impact, protects safe spaces, supports affected residents, and strengthens long-term community recovery. The framework emphasizes cross-jurisdictional coordination, multilingual communication, partnership with trusted community organizations, and continuous improvement to reduce harm, prevent escalation, and promote community well-being.
