About Us

ICE Out of California (IOOCA) is a statewide coalition of community organizations, advocates, and community members organizing and advocating to defend Californian immigrant communities from detention and deportation by working to disrupt and end local law enforcement collaboration with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). IOOCA has advocated for inclusive statewide legislation since 2011 and led efforts to pass the California Values Act (SB 54) in 2017.

​Immigration and Customs Enforcement works with local and state law enforcement to deport Californians and disrupt our communities. Our coalition aims to disentangle local law enforcement from ICE by fighting to STOP:

1. ICE access to local jails if they lack a criminal warrant signed by a judge.
2. ICE access to local law enforcement databases.
3. Information sharing between local law enforcement and ICE, including any information related to an individual’s release date from criminal custody and any personal information about an individual (e.g. home address, place of employment, or future court hearings).
4. ICE to question jail inmates about their immigration status.
5. Responses to ICE hold requests or ICE notification requests.
6. Transportation by local law enforcement of individuals to ICE.
7. Denial or increase of bail for noncitizen detainees.

This website offers resources and answers frequently asked questions about the various ways in which local law enforcement agencies are entangled with ICE so community members and organizations can push ICE out of California.
