San Diego Supervisors Propose Ban on ICE Use of County Firearms Training Facilities

San Diego, CA, August 17, 2026 —

San Diego County supervisors are considering a proposal to prohibit U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from using county-owned firearms training facilities. The proposed ban, if enacted, would prevent ICE personnel from accessing and utilizing these specialized grounds for training purposes.

The specifics of the proposal and the timeline for its potential adoption were not detailed in the information provided. It is also unclear what prompted the supervisors to consider this measure or if there have been any prior incidents involving ICE’s use of these facilities.

The county’s firearms training facilities are typically used by local law enforcement agencies for essential training exercises, including marksmanship, tactical maneuvers, and officer safety protocols. These facilities are crucial for maintaining the readiness and proficiency of law enforcement officers.

If the ban is implemented, it would signify a policy shift by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors regarding the use of its resources by federal immigration agencies. The potential impact on ICE’s training operations in the region is not yet known, nor is the county’s rationale for the proposed prohibition. Further details regarding the proposal’s scope, the voting process, and the potential consequences are expected to emerge as the matter progresses through the board’s agenda.
