The article from the Mercury News discusses a contentious issue in Santa Clara County where the Board of Supervisors is considering further limiting cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The proposed changes aim to reduce the county's involvement in immigration enforcement, aligning with its sanctuary policies. However, Sheriff Robert Jonsen has expressed opposition, arguing that these restrictions could hinder law enforcement's ability to manage public safety effectively. Jonsen contends that some level of cooperation with ICE is necessary for dealing with individuals who pose significant risks to the community. The debate highlights the ongoing tension between local sanctuary policies and federal immigration enforcement, with community advocates pushing for less cooperation to protect undocumented immigrants, while law enforcement officials seek a balance that ensures community safety.
