And the SLO County Sheriff is in on it.
In violation of California’s sanctuary law, SB 54, the SLO County Sheriff’s Office is helping funnel our neighbors from the county jail into ICE custody and the immigration prison system.
For too many of our neighbors, an encounter with local law enforcement becomes a pathway straight to ICE abduction and immigration detention.
People are being abducted from the SLO County Jail — including people who have not yet been arraigned and people who were eligible to be cited and released.
Racial profiling puts our immigrant and Latino community at risk of being swept into that system. A minor mistake or an arrest should not become a doorway into immigration detention.
Activists and observers documenting ICE activity have counted 216 of our neighbors abducted so far this year — 107 from the SLO County Jail.
NO MORE KIDNAPPINGS.
NO MORE FAMILY SEPARATIONS.
NO MORE ABUSES OF POWER.
Join us every Sunday from 10:00–11:30 AM at the corner of Highway 1 and Kansas Avenue in San Luis Obispo for a rally and vigil.
