How long have you had this contract, and why did you agree to it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sheriff David Livingston:\u003c/strong> The contract actually began back in 1992 with the U.S. Marshals Service. More recently ICE has asked to also use that contract to hold some of their detainees in our facility, which is important to know is a dormitory-style building in West County. It is intended specifically for that type of population. They actually have keys to their own cell doors. It's minimum to low security and it's extra bed space. So we thought it prudent to go ahead and rent those spaces to ICE, generate revenue and reduce the operating costs to the taxpayers of Contra Costa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> How much revenue do you get from it a year?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> Typically it's about $6 million a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> And how many detainees on a given day, a given month?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> Our average is about 200 a day, although that moves day to day by as many as 10 or 20 in either direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> So on any given day, most people in your jail are there for reasons unrelated to immigration. They may be awaiting trial. They're serving time for other crimes. But in this country all inmates have their fingerprints sent to the FBI database. So once federal immigration authorities figure out that some of the folks you have there are undocumented, what do they want you to do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> So essentially anyone that's booked into my jail and for Contra Costa -- of course, we don't have a choice who comes in the facility -- everyone is booked into one of our jails. Those fingerprints are automatically sent to Homeland Security and to FBI. It's at that time that ICE determines that they may want to interview one of the persons recently arrested in my facility, for example, and they notify us that they'd like to talk to that person. Formerly they might put in a request for a hold. Holds are no longer allowed in California. We don't honor holds. If that person is subject to being released at a certain time we release them at that time. If ICE is present to interview them, we’ll allow the interview to occur. Otherwise, that person is released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> Do you ever proactively contact ICE to let them know that someone is about to be released?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> If there is a particular individual that has come to our attention as a violent offender or a serious offender or who self-discloses that they may be subject to ICE investigation, we’ll notify ICE that they may be interested in this person. But that doesn't happen very often. ICE typically knows who they want to interview. And by the way, when they come in to do that interview, in many cases, they do not remove the person into their custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> You know, a lot of people take issue with that, though. You've had a number of protests at your facility. People who feel it's wrong for you to do this, wrong for you to proactively contact ICE. How do you respond to that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> Well, it's a relatively small group of people. It's somewhere between 30 and 50 that appear pretty regularly to protest. My obligation as sheriff for Contra Costa County is to provide public safety to the entire county -- that's 1.1 million people. So we focus on what's best, in our view, in providing public safety to everyone, not just particular special interest groups. And we already have a policy that I have signed off on that says we will do no immigration enforcement at all for our deputies on the street. This is really about the back end when someone who is already here, undocumented, has committed a new crime and now finds himself in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> Several cities throughout California have declared themselves sanctuary cities and now there's a bill, SB 54, a state bill that would make all of California a sanctuary state and prohibit law enforcement agencies like yours from cooperating with federal immigration agents. Where do you stand on SB 54?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> I, like nearly all of my colleagues in California and the State Sheriffs’ Association, are absolutely opposed to that bill. We think it's a disaster. It's the first time that we have heard of where the state government is trying to tell us who we can talk to and who we can’t talk to among other law enforcement agencies. It would hamper our efforts in a very demonstrable way. We couldn't share basic information about human trafficking or other cases with ICE unless the individual has a prior conviction for a serious or violent felony. And so putting those kinds of restrictions on our access to our federal colleagues and partners can be very damaging to public safety. We oppose it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> Supporters of the bill, though, say that the flip side of this is that there would be damage to public safety from another angle, and that is, it would make undocumented immigrants so fearful of deportation that they would be less willing to cooperate with you and other law enforcement agencies, less willing to report crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> Well, we want everyone to feel comfortable coming to their local law enforcement agency or the sheriff's office to report a crime, of course, either to report a crime as a victim or a witness. We work in communities now, North Richmond, for example, where we already encounter those types of issues and it's very difficult to get people to come forward to work with us reporting crimes so ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> But wouldn’t those issues be exacerbated, though, if you keep on opposing this sanctuary bill?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> I don't believe so. In fact, if we have a situation where ICE has to go now into the community to take someone into custody who may be facing a felony or a very serious charge, when they could have had that interview conducted in the safety and security of a custodial facility, that's putting more people at risk. So we believe at least working with ICE to the extent that they can conduct an interview makes sense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> You're currently seeking $95 million to expand the West County facility. State Sen. Nancy Skinner of Berkeley has a bill that essentially bars state funds from being used for jail expansions in counties that hold ICE detainees. So you're seeking of this $95 million in funds could be in jeopardy if this bill passes. Your thoughts on Sen. Skinner's bill?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> I think Sen. Skinner has moved the goalposts in the middle of the game. We applied in good faith for those funds to build a re-entry facility that will help those that need it most in our custody -- mental health treatment, substance abuse treatment. That's what this is about. It's a $70 billion grant with matching funds that the county would come up with. The grants will be awarded as early as next week. It's a very competitive grant and we've had this contract with ICE for many, many years. So to now say, well, if you received the grant funds you're not going to be able to have contracts with any federal agency, I think is just patently unfair and it's inappropriate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> All right, Sheriff David Livingston of Contra Costa County, thank you so much for being here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Sheraz Sadiq, Julie Small and Lisa Pickoff-White contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

How long have you had this contract, and why did you agree to it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sheriff David Livingston:\u003c/strong> The contract actually began back in 1992 with the U.S. Marshals Service. More recently ICE has asked to also use that contract to hold some of their detainees in our facility, which is important to know is a dormitory-style building in West County. It is intended specifically for that type of population. They actually have keys to their own cell doors. It's minimum to low security and it's extra bed space. So we thought it prudent to go ahead and rent those spaces to ICE, generate revenue and reduce the operating costs to the taxpayers of Contra Costa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> How much revenue do you get from it a year?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> Typically it's about $6 million a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> And how many detainees on a given day, a given month?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> Our average is about 200 a day, although that moves day to day by as many as 10 or 20 in either direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> So on any given day, most people in your jail are there for reasons unrelated to immigration. They may be awaiting trial. They're serving time for other crimes. But in this country all inmates have their fingerprints sent to the FBI database. So once federal immigration authorities figure out that some of the folks you have there are undocumented, what do they want you to do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> So essentially anyone that's booked into my jail and for Contra Costa -- of course, we don't have a choice who comes in the facility -- everyone is booked into one of our jails. Those fingerprints are automatically sent to Homeland Security and to FBI. It's at that time that ICE determines that they may want to interview one of the persons recently arrested in my facility, for example, and they notify us that they'd like to talk to that person. Formerly they might put in a request for a hold. Holds are no longer allowed in California. We don't honor holds. If that person is subject to being released at a certain time we release them at that time. If ICE is present to interview them, we’ll allow the interview to occur. Otherwise, that person is released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> Do you ever proactively contact ICE to let them know that someone is about to be released?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> If there is a particular individual that has come to our attention as a violent offender or a serious offender or who self-discloses that they may be subject to ICE investigation, we’ll notify ICE that they may be interested in this person. But that doesn't happen very often. ICE typically knows who they want to interview. And by the way, when they come in to do that interview, in many cases, they do not remove the person into their custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> You know, a lot of people take issue with that, though. You've had a number of protests at your facility. People who feel it's wrong for you to do this, wrong for you to proactively contact ICE. How do you respond to that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> Well, it's a relatively small group of people. It's somewhere between 30 and 50 that appear pretty regularly to protest. My obligation as sheriff for Contra Costa County is to provide public safety to the entire county -- that's 1.1 million people. So we focus on what's best, in our view, in providing public safety to everyone, not just particular special interest groups. And we already have a policy that I have signed off on that says we will do no immigration enforcement at all for our deputies on the street.

Many of those crimes were also committed years ago. On average, the most recent conviction had occurred seven years before being detained by immigration. \u003ca href=\"https://www.nber.org/papers/w13229.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Statistically\u003c/a>, immigrants are less likely to commit crime than people born in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vast majority of immigrants detained in California were arrested in the state or at the border, Human Rights Watch said.

About 84 percent of detainees spent less than one month in detention.

As practicable, ICE will coordinate to afford detained parents or legal guardians access to counsel, consulates and consular officials, courts, and/or family members in the weeks preceding removal in order to execute documents (e.g., powers of attorney, passport applications), purchase airline tickets, and make other necessary arrangements prior to travel,” she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>State Legislation\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Four bills moving through the state Legislature could dramatically change how immigration detention works in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/04/13/california-debates-whether-to-become-a-sanctuary-state/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senate Bill 54\u003c/a> would prohibit law enforcement agencies from being involved in any immigration enforcement action, bar sheriffs from contacting ICE about someone in their jail and end contracts that local municipalities have to hold immigrant detainees for ICE.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/05/05/could-congress-and-california-thwart-trumps-mass-immigration-detention-plans/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senate Bill 29\u003c/a> would phase out the contracts four California cities have with ICE to hold immigrant detainees in facilities run by private companies, hold counties and cities that house immigrant detainees in local jails to higher standards of care, make more detention records public documents and expand who could sue on behalf of immigrant detainees.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB630\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senate Bill 630\u003c/a> would prohibit counties from using state funds to expand jails that also are used to house federal prisoners, including immigrant detainees, for 10 years.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>And \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-sac-california-legal-immigrant-defense-20170302-htmlstory.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senate Bill 6\u003c/a> would provide legal aid to anyone arrested by ICE, who is not convicted of a violent crime.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The California State Sheriffs' Association opposes three of the bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spokesman Cory Salzillo said the state is overstepping its authority by attempting to regulate immigrant detention in the state.

And of detainees with criminal records, those convicted of relatively minor offenses — immigration offenses, drug use, possession or DUI — outnumbered by nearly 3-to-1 those convicted of violent felonies. Many of those crimes were also committed years ago. On average, the most recent conviction had occurred seven years before being detained by immigration. \u003ca href=\"https://www.nber.org/papers/w13229.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Statistically\u003c/a>, immigrants are less likely to commit crime than people born in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vast majority of immigrants detained in California were arrested in the state or at the border, Human Rights Watch said. About 40 percent of detainees entered into the system in San Diego or at the border; and 20 percent in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents of SB 54 and SB 29 say that ending immigration detention in California would separate families since detainees would end up in other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amount of time that immigrant detainees spent in detention varied greatly, according to the Human Rights Watch report. About 84 percent of detainees spent less than one month in detention. However, 8,298 people spent more than six months, and 1,787 more than a year in detention during the time period Human Rights Watch studied. Only one in 10 detainees were granted bond.\u003cbr>\n\u003ca name=\"report\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nThe majority, 55 percent, of people studied by Human Rights Watch were deported.

"content": "\u003cp>When President Trump's first immigration order temporarily went into effect on Jan. 27, and we began to see its impact at airports and hear stories about how it was touching many people's lives nationwide, we decided to try to capture some of those tales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We created a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/01/25/kqed-wants-your-immigration-stories/\">form\u003c/a>, asking people to share their immigration stories, and people did — 56 of them. They mostly weren't stories about the impact of the travel ban. Rather, they were stories that reflect the rich diversity California is known for. They were stories of people whose families had immigrated a generation prior from the Philippines, South Korea, Pakistan, Mexico, India and more. They were tales of people whose parents settled in the U.S. because of conflict in their home country, such as in Iran and El Salvador. They were stories of undocumented youth, known as Dreamers, who had signed up for former President Obama's DACA (or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program — and in one case, a young man who didn't, because he didn't want to be a \"sitting duck\" if Obama's successor didn't keep the program. And there were people who came on work visas, such as the H-1B often used in Silicon Valley, and for love, such as a gay British man who married his American boyfriend.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside

I graduated in 2011 and since then I've been working as a software engineer. I started my career at a bigger company. I worked there for three years. Since then, I've been working at a smaller startup in Palo Alto for close to three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Initially, as one could imagine, getting admitted to Stanford, with all the tuition taken care of, was a dream come true. I experienced no issues getting my student visa as well. It was great. Up till then, my immigration story was very smooth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only after I graduated from Stanford did I realize the problems associated with working on a work visa in the United States. The system is definitely not encouraging folks to be independent, free, and to move from companies. It's not very straightforward at all. The laws are very complex. For the first few years, it was OK because I was just starting to work for the first time in my life. Immigration was not my primary concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once I wanted to switch jobs, that's when I realized how painful it was going to be to even just move from one company to another, let alone starting my own business — which is almost impossible to do. It's been downhill since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, I've come to a point where I've spent close to eight years in this country and I'm starting to doubt whether I should still pursue this arduous journey here or should I give up and go back to my home country or another country like Canada or Australia, where they are welcoming to a lot more highly skilled immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue is primarily with the green card process. They give out 140,000 green cards* per year; no more than 7 percent can go to one specific country. For people who are born in India, we are looking at a wait time of more than 50 years. I'll probably be 70 or maybe even dead by the time I'm actually eligible to get my green card. That is the biggest issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second thing is also the mobility on the H-1B visa. For example, let's say I want to switch to another company. The company sponsors me, but then I have to go back and start the process all over again (that's generally what happens and in any case, it doesn't change the fact that I'll have to wait so many years).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last problem is, for example, let's say I have been here 10 or 15 years, and my company is not doing well. If they lay me off, I have to leave the country within 10 days. I'm basically being penalized because I was born in India. That is the root cause of the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I've come to a point where I've spent close to eight years in this country and I'm starting to doubt whether I should still pursue this arduous journey here or should I give up and go back to my home country or another country ... where they are welcoming to a lot more highly skilled immigrants.'\u003ccite>Gokul Gunasekaran, H-1B visa holder, Sunnyvale\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>As far as the executive orders are concerned, I'm kind of scared right now to go back to visit my parents because I'm worried … whether the consulate will actually give me a stamp to come back to the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the uncertainties toward travel, whether we will get our visa stamping, whether our work visas will be renewed -- these are all adding quite a bit of anxiety to the high-skilled immigrant community. That's it in a nutshell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every time I go back home or when I talk to my parents, they ask me if I’m close to getting my green card or do I have any permanency and I tell them, “No. It's not happening.” They ask me, “What's the point of all this? Just come back home and stay with us and stay close with family.” That is a decision that's been moving up on my things to do and I'm seriously considering that, unfortunately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system here is totally broken.

They mostly weren't stories about the impact of the travel ban. Rather, they were stories that reflect the rich diversity California is known for. They were stories of people whose families had immigrated a generation prior from the Philippines, South Korea, Pakistan, Mexico, India and more. They were tales of people whose parents settled in the U.S. because of conflict in their home country, such as in Iran and El Salvador. They were stories of undocumented youth, known as Dreamers, who had signed up for former President Obama's DACA (or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program — and in one case, a young man who didn't, because he didn't want to be a \"sitting duck\" if Obama's successor didn't keep the program. And there were people who came on work visas, such as the H-1B often used in Silicon Valley, and for love, such as a gay British man who married his American boyfriend.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside

I graduated in 2011 and since then I've been working as a software engineer. I started my career at a bigger company. I worked there for three years. Since then, I've been working at a smaller startup in Palo Alto for close to three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Initially, as one could imagine, getting admitted to Stanford, with all the tuition taken care of, was a dream come true. I experienced no issues getting my student visa as well. It was great. Up till then, my immigration story was very smooth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only after I graduated from Stanford did I realize the problems associated with working on a work visa in the United States. The system is definitely not encouraging folks to be independent, free, and to move from companies. It's not very straightforward at all. The laws are very complex. For the first few years, it was OK because I was just starting to work for the first time in my life. Immigration was not my primary concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once I wanted to switch jobs, that's when I realized how painful it was going to be to even just move from one company to another, let alone starting my own business — which is almost impossible to do. It's been downhill since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, I've come to a point where I've spent close to eight years in this country and I'm starting to doubt whether I should still pursue this arduous journey here or should I give up and go back to my home country or another country like Canada or Australia, where they are welcoming to a lot more highly skilled immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue is primarily with the green card process. They give out 140,000 green cards* per year; no more than 7 percent can go to one specific country. For people who are born in India, we are looking at a wait time of more than 50 years. I'll probably be 70 or maybe even dead by the time I'm actually eligible to get my green card. That is the biggest issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second thing is also the mobility on the H-1B visa. For example, let's say I want to switch to another company. The company sponsors me, but then I have to go back and start the process all over again (that's generally what happens and in any case, it doesn't change the fact that I'll have to wait so many years).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last problem is, for example, let's say I have been here 10 or 15 years, and my company is not doing well. If they lay me off, I have to leave the country within 10 days. I'm basically being penalized because I was born in India. That is the root cause of the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I've come to a point where I've spent close to eight years in this country and I'm starting to doubt whether I should still pursue this arduous journey here or should I give up and go back to my home country or another country ... where they are welcoming to a lot more highly skilled immigrants.'\u003ccite>Gokul Gunasekaran, H-1B visa holder, Sunnyvale\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>As far as the executive orders are concerned, I'm kind of scared right now to go back to visit my parents because I'm worried … whether the consulate will actually give me a stamp to come back to the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the uncertainties toward travel, whether we will get our visa stamping, whether our work visas will be renewed -- these are all adding quite a bit of anxiety to the high-skilled immigrant community. That's it in a nutshell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every time I go back home or when I talk to my parents, they ask me if I’m close to getting my green card or do I have any permanency and I tell them, “No. It's not happening.” They ask me, “What's the point of all this? Just come back home and stay with us and stay close with family.” That is a decision that's been moving up on my things to do and I'm seriously considering that, unfortunately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system here is totally broken.

The letter asks the California Board of State and Community Corrections — an agency in the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation that oversees an $18 million a year federal grant program — to prove by June 30 that the state complies with a federal law that \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1373\">requires local governments to communicate with\u003c/a> federal immigration officials about the immigration status of people they come in contact with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many of these jurisdictions are … crumbling under the weight of illegal immigration and violent crime,” the Justice Department said in a news release, despite the fact that\u003ca href=\"https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-09-26/us-crime-rate-rises-slightly-remains-near-20-year-low\"> violent crime rates in the U.S. are near record lows\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”2mLv47RLRO5pJ0MDFsFi29BQkFJAu8Py”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The news release also stated, “Just several weeks ago in California’s Bay Area, after a raid captured 11 MS-13 members on charges including murder, extortion and drug trafficking, city officials seemed more concerned with reassuring illegal immigrants that the raid was unrelated to immigration than with warning other MS-13 members that they were next.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tracie Cone, a spokeswoman for the Board of State and Community Corrections, said in a written statement that the board complies with the federal law cited in the letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, California officials at both the state and local level have argued that while their sanctuary laws prevent them from participating in immigration raids or holding people in jails or prison who would otherwise be released, they \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/11/29/donald-trump-wants-to-cut-funding-from-sanctuary-cities-but-can-he/\">do communicate with federal officials and therefore follow the law\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Angela Chan, an immigrants rights attorney who has helped draft sanctuary laws, said the letter is nothing more than posturing by Sessions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“There’s no teeth in this whatsoever,” she said. “\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">There’s still nothing in this letter that says we are going to pull funding, nothing in this letter that says we believe you are violating this federal statute, and nothing in this letter that says the federal government has the power to pull funding.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3675426-Justice-Department-4-21-letters-to-sanctuary\" notes=\"true\" text=\"true\" search=\"true\" sidebar=\"true\" pdf=\"true\" responsive=\"true\" page=\"1\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s Trust Act prohibits local jails from holding most undocumented immigrants strictly for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if they should otherwise be released, and many of the counties that receive the money under the grant program at issue — known as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.bja.gov/jag/\">Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program\u003c/a>, or JAG — have their own sanctuary policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But threats by Sessions and President Trump have inspired many Democrats in California to push for even stronger protections for undocumented immigrants, ever since Trump issued a \u003ca href=\"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/01/30/2017-02102/enhancing-public-safety-in-the-interior-of-the-united-states\">Jan. 25 executive order\u003c/a> directing the Justice Department to strip funding from sanctuary jurisdictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California lawmakers are \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/04/13/california-debates-whether-to-become-a-sanctuary-state/\">weighing a bill that would expand\u003c/a> the statewide restrictions even further. Senate President Kevin de León, who is authoring the legislation, lashed out Friday over the letters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has become abundantly clear that Attorney General Sessions and the Trump Administration are basing their law enforcement policies on principles of white supremacy — not American values,” he said in a written statement. “Their constant and systematic targeting of diverse cities and states goes beyond constitutional norms and will be challenged at every level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview, de León said that whether the letter is simply posturing or not, “when they make threats to withhold needed police officers, we take that seriously.” He compared the threat to “holding a gun to the head” of cities, counties and states that want to protect “hard-working immigrants” and said he remains committed to his legislation, \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB54\">Senate Bill 54\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De León noted that the bill has been amended to allow law enforcement officials to work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement if they come across people with serious and violent criminal histories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, San Francisco — which has a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/04/06/long-history-of-sanctuary-laws-debate-in-san-francisco/\">long history of protecting undocumented immigrants\u003c/a> — and Santa Clara counties already sued the federal government over the executive order, saying it is \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/01/31/s-f-files-suit-against-trump-saying-punishing-sanctuary-cities-is-illegal/\">unconstitutional\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They want a court to \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/03/09/s-f-city-attorney-asks-court-to-block-trump-order-stripping-sanctuary-city-funding/\">block the order\u003c/a> from taking effect; a judge considering the case \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/04/14/trumps-plan-to-cut-sanctuary-funds-threatens-s-f-santa-clara-counties-judge-says/\">seems inclined to side with the counties \u003c/a>while the case plays out in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the \u003ca href=\"http://www.bscc.ca.gov/downloads/2016%20JAG%20Project%20Descriptions%20-%20Rev%202.3.17.pdf\">counties that receive JAG grants\u003c/a> to pay for programs in the areas of education and crime prevention, law enforcement and prosecution, and courts, including indigent defense:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Contra Costa County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Kern County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Los Angeles County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>San Diego County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>San Francisco City and County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>San Joaquin County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>San Mateo County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Ventura County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Butte County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Merced County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Placer County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Santa Cruz County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sonoma County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Stanislaus County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Tulare County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Yolo County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Calaveras County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Humboldt County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Imperial County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Kings County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Lassen County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Madera County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Mariposa County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Mendocino County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Modoc County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Mono County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Plumas County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>San Benito County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Shasta County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Tehama County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Tuolumne County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Yuba County\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",
