Local Police As ICE Agents? S-COMM & Other Police-ICE Entanglement Programs First in the Asian Law Caucus Summer Brown Bag Series Thursday, June 7, 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe 405 Howard St. SF (betw. Fremont & 1st St, # 14, 76 bus)
Angela Chan, Criminal Justice Reform Staff Attorney Julia Mass, ACLU of Northern California Angie Junck, Immigrant Legal Resource Center Meredith Desautels, Lawyer’s Committee for Civil Rights
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s controversial Secure Communities Program (S-COMM) relies on local police as "force multipliers" to conduct federal civil immigration enforcement.
Through the automatic transmission of fingerprints from local police to ICE at the point of arrest, over 182,000 people have been deported nationally as of March 2012. About 70 percent of those deported do not have criminal convictions or were arrested for lesser offenses. This panel will discuss the harm caused to community policing, transparency, and local resources. We also will discuss solutions for disentangling police from ICE, including the TRUST Act (AB 1081-Ammiano), a pending CA state bill.
Sponsored by Asian Law Caucus and Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the SF Bay Area
