NAPA - The Napa County Board of Supervisors will hold a public community forum to provide information about access to individuals that has been provided to the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency by law enforcement departments under the Board’s jurisdiction in calendar year 2019.
The forum will be held at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, November 17, in the Board Chambers, 1195 Third Street, 3rd Floor, Napa. It will be held pursuant to California Government Code Section 7283.1(d), also known as the TRUTH Act, which was signed into law by Governor Brown in 2016.
