SANTA ROSA, Calif. - About 100 protesters with the Sonoma County Sanctuary Coalition gathered at the exit of the Sonoma County Detention Center in Santa Rosa Thursday, calling on Sonoma County's Board to pass an ordinance explicitly stating their "non-collaboration with ICE."

"The Latino Community alone represents about 30% of the county and while not all of us are undocumented, most of us live in mixed-status families," Renee Sauceda, a spokesperson for the Sonoma County Sanctuary Coalition.

Rumored threats

Protesters said they had heard that the Sonoma County Sheriff Eddie Engram and Board Supervisor Lynda Hopkins had met with the Department of Homeland Security and that DHS had threatened to conduct raids at Home Depot and workplaces if Sonoma County didn't cooperate with ICE.
