"We elected the sheriff to take care of public safety, and we also elected the Board of Supervisors to watch over the sheriff and their budget and their processes,"
"The process of sending in information and telling names of those who have been detained, who happen to be undocumented is not acceptable in our county."
"The people that are being impacted are just some of the hardest working people in our community. They do the jobs that nobody else really wants to do. But they're not criminals,"
"The Marin County Sheriff's Office does not work in coordination"
Protesters with immigrant rights groups demanded that the Marin County Sheriff's Office stop all cooperation with ICE, withdraw from the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, and cease publishing booking logs. Advocates warned that county-level decisions have a substantial impact on immigrants and emphasized that affected people are hardworking community members who perform undesirable jobs and are not criminals. Protesters urged county supervisors to oversee the sheriff's budget and processes and criticized sharing detainee information and names of undocumented individuals. The Marin County Sheriff's Office states that it abides by Senate Bill 54 and follows federal and California laws, cooperating with federal agencies only in specific legally required instances.
