Dear Supervisors,
As a citizen of Butte County, I feel voting tonight on such a large issue is
premature. Have you really looked into the impact this will have on our community. I'm
including in this email the ACLU's 9 "model"state and local law enforcement policies and rules. I ask
that you be prudent and open minded. Please do not follow the "party line" on such an
important issue. Our ancestors were immigrants. Please remember the iconic American
symbol; Lady Liberty and what is written on her. In case you've forgotten here it is.
"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of
your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the
golden door!"
Sincerely,
Barbara A Johnson
Paradise, CA
ACLU's 9 "model" state and local law enforcement policies and rules.
Defend our friends, families and neighbors from Trump's mass deportation agenda:
#1) The Judicial Warrant Rule: Butte County officials shall require a judicial warrant prior to detaining an individual or
in any manner prolonging the detention of an individual at the request of U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) or Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
#2) No Facilitation Rule: Butte County officials shall not arrest, detain, or transport an individual solely on the basis
of an immigration detainer or other administrative document issued by ICE or CBP, without a judicial warrant.
#3) Defined Access/Interview Rule: Unless acting pursuant to a court order or a legitimate law enforcement purpose
that is unrelated to the enforcement of a civil immigration law, no Butte County official shall permit ICE or CBP
agents access to Butte County facilities or any person in Butte County custody for investigative interviews or other
investigative purposes.
#4) Clear Identification Rule: To the extent ICE or CBP has been granted access to Butte County facilities,
individuals with whom ICE or CBP engages will be notified that they are speaking with ICE or CBP, and ICE or CBP
agents shall be required to wear duty jackets and make their badges visible at all times while in Butte County
facilities.
Protect our friends, families and neighbors' privacy from the Trump administration:
#5) Don't Ask Rule: Butte County officials shall not inquire into the immigration or citizenship status of an individual,
except where the inquiry relates to a legitimate law enforcement purpose that is unrelated to the enforcement of a
civil immigration law, or where required by state or federal law to verify eligibility for a benefit, service, or license
conditioned on verification of certain status.
#6) Privacy Protection Rule: No Butte County official shall voluntarily release personally identifiable data or
information to ICE or CBP regarding an inmate's custody status, release date or home address, or information that
may be used to ascertain an individual's religion, ethnicity or race, unless for a law enforcement purpose unrelated
to the enforcement of a civil immigration law.
#7) Discriminatory Surveillance Prohibition Rule: No Butte County agency or official shall authorize or engage in the
human or technological surveillance of a person or group based solely or primarily upon a person or group's actual
or perceived religion, ethnicity, race, or immigration status.
Help our friends, families and neighbors get redress when abuses and mistakes occur:
#8) Redress Rule: Any person who alleges a violation of this policy may file a written complaint for investigation with
[oversight entity].
Help ensure our friends, families, and neighbors are protected from discrimination:
#9) Fair and Impartial Policing Rule: No Butte County official shall interrogate, arrest, detain or take other law
enforcement action against an individual based upon that individual's perceived race, national origin, religion,
language, or immigration status, unless such personal characteristics have been included in timely, relevant,
credible information from a reliable source, linking a specific individual to a particular criminal event/activity.
Final Note: The Trump Administration has asserted, falsely, that if localities do not help advance Trump's mass
deportation agenda, they are violating federal law. The following rule, which is the only applicable federal law in this
area, would help ensure your city, county or town establishes its clear intent not to violate federal law. While not a
necessary addition, this rule may be a useful complement to the above policies.
1373 Rule: Under 8 U.S.C. § 1373 and 8 U.S.C. § 1644, federal law prohibits Butte County officials from imposing
limits on maintaining, exchanging, sending, or receiving information regarding citizenship and immigration status
with any Federal, State, or local government entity. Nothing in Butte County policies is intended to violate 8 U.S.C. §
1373 and 8 U.S.C. § 1644.
