The Transparent Review of Unjust Transfer and Holds (TRUTH) Act (AB 2792) forum requires San Diego County to provide information to the public about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) access to individuals in custody in 2020.  The TRUTH Act describes requirements for law enforcement agencies when ICE requests access to individuals in custody and how law enforcement agencies must share information about ICE requests.

For this TRUTH Act forum only, the public can submit questions regarding ICE access to individuals in 2020.

The question submission form is available in 6 languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese, and Arabic.

Select questions may be addressed during the community forum.  All questions submitted will be posted as part of the meeting minutes.  The deadline for question submission is Sunday, November 14 at 5 p.m.
