SUPPORT IMMIGRANTS – STOP ICE — SAVE DACA

On July 16, a federal judge in Texas ruled that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is unconstitutional and blocked new applicants. The program has allowed 600,000 people who were brought to this country as minors to attend school and to work.

Despite promises to improve conditions for asylum seekers and other immigrants, in July, 2021 federal officials reported that there has been a surge of COVID-19 infections at ICE detention centers across the country, with 1,182 people currently identified as infected and under isolation or monitoring. According to a new report from ICE 27,000 migrants are currently detained, nearly double the in April. Detention centers fail to maintain clean facilities, prevent overcrowding, or provide adequate medical care. ICE has still not established a consistent program to provide COVID-19 vaccinations to detainees, and its failure to test people prior to transfer has fueled the outbreaks.

In California the attorney general’s office reports the number of ICE transfers from local law enforcement agencies. The most recent data shows that sheriff Bolanos transferred 26 people to ICE in 2020. These numbers have decreased from the previous years but San Mateo County is still at the top of the list in the Bay Area. Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, Santa Clara and Sonoma counties did not transfer anyone to ICE in 2020

Bay Area County transfers to ICE in 2020

San Mateo = 26

Alamada = 8

Solano = 1

Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, Santa Clara, Sonoma = 0

Bolanos needs to stop collaborating with ICE. Let our community, local, county, state and federal officials know that any collaboration with ICE is unacceptable. ICE is still a rogue agency that carries out inhumane acts against immigrants with impunity. STOP ICE NOW.

Join for sign waving on Saturday August 14th at 11 AM on Highway 1 near the Moose Lodge. Bring signs, wear your masks and show your support for our immigrant communities.
