Sheriff: Not pro-actively pursuing immigration cases makes San Bernardino County safer (sbsun.com)
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, like other law enforcement agencies in California, does not routinely check the immigration status of people it comes in contact with. And according to Sheriff John McMahon, residents are safer because of it. “The only time a person in this county’s immigration status is questioned is by ICE, number one, and after they’ve been locked away, arrested and booked into one of our facilities. That’s it.” That means low-level offenders who don’t have...

Tell Us a Story: The Power of Narrative to Build a Social Movement
Rosa Ana Lozada grew up on a two-block-long street in a San Francisco neighborhood pocked with trauma: domestic violence, child abuse, the frequent wail of police sirens. “It was unsafe to walk the two blocks to the bus stop,” she recalled. “In my community, we learned that police officers were not our friends because they were only seen when bad things happened.” For Lozada, now CEO of Harmonium, Inc., and a member of the San Diego Trauma Informed Guide Team, home and family were the...
