On July 21st, 2026, the Sacramento City Council voted to approve funding for the Central California Intelligence Center (CCIC). The CCIC is a 24/7 command hub that gathers, analyzes, and shares law enforcement, public safety, and threat intelligence.

The Sacramento City Council voted 5-2 with 2 absent to approve a $793,280 funding agreement supporting operations and staffing at CCIC.

The CCIC receives data from the Sacramento Police Department, which is then shared with the Department of Homeland Security and, therefore, Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Opponents argue that this directly contradicts the city’s sanctuary city policies by indirectly working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement through the lack of oversight or authority over what data or intelligence is shared with the CCIC by the Sacramento Police Department.

Here’s how the Council voted on a motion to approve this funding agreement:
