SAN RAFAEL, Calif., July 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ICE Out of Marin y Justicia Para Todos, a coalition focused on changing the immoral policies of the Marin County Sheriff's Office and other Marin County law enforcement agencies, will be in attendance and press available at a special Board of Supervisors Truth Act Community Forum on July 9, 2019, at 5:30 p.m.
As they did last November, coalition members will present the same demands regarding Marin County's cooperation with Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE). "We are concerned with the level of cooperation our Sheriff still has with ICE, especially now when entering our deportation and detention system is an entrance into hell," stated Lisa Bennett, Co-Chair, ICE Out of Marin. "Handing over people to ICE is something we have always opposed, and any organization which continues to facilitate deportations given the current atrocities needs a morality check."
In addition, the coalition will use the opportunity for public discourse to redefine "public safety" from the lens of gender-based violence and the ways ICE cooperation actually makes women more vulnerable.
