LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles County Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission will convene a virtual public forum Aug. 7 to examine local law enforcement’s role in federal immigration operations amid ongoing community tensions over ICE raids across the county.
The forum brings together civilian oversight experts, law enforcement professionals and community partners to discuss Sheriff’s Department policies related to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. The public can provide comments and ask questions during the session.
“This forum is intended to provide the community with a greater awareness of local law enforcement policies as well as information about ways they can safely and lawfully protest against immigration enforcement practices with which they may disagree,” accord
