When:            

  • Community Rally – 4 P.M., Thursday, December 6, 2018
  • Board of Supervisors Hearing – 5:30 P.M.

Why:

  • Under the California TRUTH Act (AB 2792), effective January 1, 2018, City Councils and Boards of Supervisors in California are required to hold at least one community forum per year if the Police or Sheriff’s department allowed ICE to access at least one individual in their custody in the previous year. The community forums are intended to provide the public with information as to how local law enforcement agencies entangle themselves with federal immigration authorities.
  • From Jan 1- Nov 25, 2018, 65 people have been “released” to ICE from the Marin County Jail.
  • Marin County Sheriff Robert Doyle’s collaboration with the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has produced a growing community concern over the impact on the safety and well-being of Marin residents.  
  • More than 25 Marin organizations have joined with ICE Out of Marin y Justicia Para Todos, a grassroots coalition of immigrant justice advocates, to request the Board of Supervisors hold this public hearing and take action against Sheriff Doyle for his practices which do not contribute to enhanced public safety, do not reflect the values of this county, and are out of step with best practices of other Bay Area county law enforcement agencies.
