ICE Holds and Sheriff’s Silence | Fresno News
Description
An anonymous watchdog group has uncovered troubling patterns at San Luis Obispo County Jail, revealing that ICE frequently apprehends inmates shortly after release—even when the Sheriff’s Office declined to comply with ICE’s requests. Documents show the Sheriff’s Office stamped requests “will not comply” and marked the inmate notification section as “not in custody,” suggesting inmates were released before being informed—violating the TRUTH Act. Legal experts demand investigations, arguing that notification is mandatory regardless of compliance. The Sheriff’s Office claims paperwork delays are unavoidable, but state law forbids delaying release. Further scrutiny reveals potential cooperation with unsigned federal warrants, raising alarms about procedural integrity. Advocates push for an end to voluntary ICE collaboration, citing erosion of trust and rights violations, while the Sheriff insists its actions remain lawful and safety-focused.
