SUMMARY 
THE IMMIGRATION AD HOC COMMITTEE REPORT @ The Sheriff's Commission Meeting
NOTE: At the San Gabriel Valley Lincoln Club, LA County Sheriff Jim McDonnell said that Immigration Customs & Enforcement, ICE, is still operating within the LA County Jail and that the Sheriff's Department is still actively working with ICE, despite enactment of the Sanctuary State bill.

The pro illegal  commissioners on the LA County Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission IMMIGRATION AD HOC COMMITTEE are recommending that the Sheriff's Department cease ALL interaction with ICE. And their goal is to make their recommendations the new reality in the LA County jail system.

THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED:

• That ICE NO LONGER BE STATIONED INSIDE OF LA COUNTY JAILS. The commissioners toured the LA County Jail and confirmed that ICE has a designated station inside of the jail.
• In order to take custody of an illegal inmate who is scheduled for release, the committee recommended that ICE obtain a federal warrant, which would be time consuming and difficult to obtain.
• The committee does not want the Sheriff's Department to participate in ICE raids.
• In addition, they are calling for the Sheriff's Department to be strictly monitored on how well the department is implementing and following the Sanctuary State bill, SB 54.

A new Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission, aimed at boosting transparency and increasing trust between communities and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, has been established by the Board of Supervisors.
In its Nov. 1, 2016 action, the Board also appointed nine commissioners to serve on the panel and approved hiring an executive director, attorney Brian K. Williams. Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas and Supervisor Hilda L. Solis authored the December 2014 motion that started the process that led to the commission’s creation.
The new commissioners include community and faith leaders, a retired Sheriff’s lieutenant, and attorneys with a broad range of experience—from former prosecutors and public defenders to professors and executives from legal non-profit organizations. They are:

• Heather Miller, Rabbi, Beth Chayim Chadashim, appointed by the Board of Supervisors

• JP Harris, former Sheriff’s lieutenant, appointed by Supervisor Knabe
