We thank Santa Clara County Rapid Response for sharing this important community update regarding travel through SJC Airport. At a time when many families are feeling uncertainty around airports and immigration enforcement, access to clear and responsible information matters. While there are no confirmed reports of an ICE surge at SJC, we encourage non-citizens to travel with caution and prepare carefully.
