NAPA, CA — A community forum is planned next month in order for the Napa County Board of Supervisors to inform the public of any incidents in 2019 in which the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement — ICE — was provided access to individuals by local law enforcement departments.
The forum will be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 14, in the Board Chambers at the County Executive Center, 1195 Third St., 3rd Floor in Napa, county Spokesperson Noel Brinkerhoff said in a news release.
It will be held pursuant to California Government Code Section 7283.1(d), also known as the TRUTH Act, which was signed into law in 2016 by then-Gov. Jerry Brown.
