BART's governing board on Thursday will consider adding the four-county transit district to the growing list of local jurisdictions refusing to enforce federal immigration laws.

The proposed policy, dubbed "Safe Transit," would prohibit BART from spending any money or resources on enforcing federal immigration laws, and it would forbid BART employees, including its police officers, from questioning riders about their immigration status, except if that cooperation is required by federal or state laws, or through a court order.

It also prohibits BART employees from asking prospective vendors or new hires about their immigration status, or threatening to deny a rider or employee benefits based on their immigration status, among other provisions.
