Show Notes
Orange County Sheriffs Department saw a 40% increase in inmate transfers to ICE, from 186 to 271, since 2022. Last year, they screened 824 inmates for immigration holds, referring 323 to federal authorities. Immigrant rights groups and Supervisor Sarmiento criticized the ongoing cooperation, especially after recent federal raids. They argued that transfers disproportionately affected Mexican, Vietnamese, and Central American communities. Sheriff Barnes defended the transfers, claiming they enhance public safety by removing dangerous offenders. He noted that 55 out of 501 inmates with ICE holds not referred last year were later re-arrested for serious crimes. Tensions persist as both sides debate the effectiveness and impact of these transfers.
