Stand with Immigrants: No ICE in Marin!
Marin County Sheriff and Board of Supervisors
Trump's racist agenda of deporting immigrant families and community members should have no place in Marin. Yet our sheriff's office continues to cooperate with ICE to enable this dangerous policy. Tell the Marin County Sheriff and the Marin County Board of Supervisors to stop ALL cooperation with ICE!
How is our sheriff cooperating with ICE?
1. SCAAP: Reporting our undocumented neighbors to ICE for $1,000 apiece. The Marin County Sheriff’s Office participates in SCAAP, the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program. SCAAP is a federal program that provides a roughly $1,000 bounty to local law enforcement agencies for reporting information on undocumented immigrants in their custody. Over the past three years, the Marin County Sheriff’s Office has received over $1.2 million for reporting over 1,000 immigrants to ICE and DHS.
2. Booking Logs: Publishing personal information ICE can use to detain immigrants. The sheriff openly publicizes its booking logs, which contain the personal information and release dates of people in their custody. This allows ICE to wait outside the county jail and detain those they suspect of being undocumented.
3. Direct Collaboration: Handing over undocumented immigrants to ICE. Even though California is a sanctuary state that bans local law enforcement agencies from directly sharing immigration status information of those in their custody with ICE, our sheriff exploits a loophole in state law that allows for this kind of direct collaboration with ICE. As a result, the Marin County Sheriff’s Office directly reports over a dozen undocumented immigrants to ICE each year, with the justification that this is warranted because those reported have been convicted or charged with a “serious felony.”
