The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office has removed outdated policy language that permitted broad collaboration with federal immigration officials, despite local sanctuary laws prohibiting such actions. A training bulletin informed personnel of the policy change, emphasizing that the old general order, active since 2010, was inconsistent with the agency's mission and local laws. Sanctuary policies in Santa Clara have restricted notification to Immigration and Customs Enforcement about undocumented individuals, particularly limiting ICE's involvement unless serious felonies are involved.
The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office has rescinded its outdated policy allowing cooperation with federal immigration officials, reflecting contemporary sanctuary laws.
The old policy allowed patrol deputies to notify federal immigration agencies about undocumented immigrants, even without criminal investigations, which is no longer valid.
