The City of Ann Arbor made “No Trespassing” signage specific to civil immigration enforcement available to the public, in accordance with Resolution R-26-042 that was adopted by the Ann Arbor City Council on Feb. 2
The signs are intended for use by private landowners and leaseholders, which can include businesses, medical providers, nonprofit organizations and places of worship. They can be downloaded and printed to be displayed on private property.
The signs read: “You DO NOT have consent to enter for civil immigration enforcement purposes. Private Area. No Trespassing.”
“The Ann Arbor community rejects the Trump administration’s program of fear and chaos,” Mayor Christopher Taylor said in a press release. “Ann Arbor is committed to provide clear, accessible tools to help residents and property owners understand and assert their rights. By making this signage available, we are supporting community members who choose to restrict access to non-public spaces on their property.”
The relevant portion of Resolution R-26-042 states:
“RESOLVED, That the City Administrator shall as soon as possible, but no later than 90 days, design and make available for public use standardized signage that private landowners and leaseholders, including businesses, medical providers, nonprofit organizations, and places of worship, may print and display in their own discretion to delineate non-public areas of property in which the landowner or leaseholder wishes to restrict activities related to civil immigration enforcement.”
