  • ICE Out of California Hotline
    844-878-7801

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. 

Their website is designed to help communities throughout California expand the TRUST Act‘s protections and push ICE out of California.  As we continue to separate local law enforcement from ICE, we can further strengthen our communities and restore trust between the community and local law enforcement.
