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.

This website is currently supported by the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON), among others in the ICE Out of California coalition.
