La iniciativa se llevó a cabo frente al centro de detención de la ciudad californiana Adelanto con el fin de poner a prueba al Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas. Activistas buscan responsabilizar a la agencia a causa de presuntos abusos y abogan por la ley que permite supervisar centros de detención para inmigrantes en California.

Did you know that the Los Angeles County Sheriff is an elected official? The sheriff holds a tremendous amount of power with responsibilities such as providing patrol services for 153 incorporated communities and 42 cities; courthouse security for the Superior Court of LA; and housing and transportation of 17,000 people who are incarcerated in its jail system, which is the largest in the country.
We are hosting a community forum so you can better know your sheriff candidates:
