ICE Out of California's website aims to identify the current trends in collaboration between local law enforcement and ICE, so community members and advocates can strategically push ICE out of California. 

In 2014, community organizers and advocates successfully passed the California TRUST Act. This law provided the foundation to begin disentangling ICE from local law enforcement. Now, communities are mobilizing to build upon the TRUST Act’s protections to ensure that families and communities remain unified.
