Open Letter to Sheriff Villanueva: Keep ICE in LA County Jails!

Dear Sheriff Villanueva:

Do not remove ICE from the jails.

It is essential that county and state law enforcement work closely with your federal brothers and sisters.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement plays a vital role in many actions and efforts in LA County.

They fight sex trafficking, drug trafficking, human trafficking, and they ensure that transnational gangs do not gain a foothold in any part of the United States.

Please put aside your upsets, frustrations, and outrage over the Trump Administration. Public safety is about cooperation not competition with other branches of our republic.

There is nothing good that comes out of politicizing public safety and law enforcement.

Foreign nationals who commit crimes in Los Angeles County should be removed immediately! Retain ICE in the LA County jail system, and please put the safety of LA County residents FIRST!

KEEP ICE IN LA COUNTY JAILS!

Sincerely,

Arthur Schaper
Torrance, CA
