NO ICE COOPERATION IN SAN GABRIEL 

Various news agencies reported this week that the San Gabriel City Council voted to pull out of its 
agreement to cooperate with Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE). The council voted 3-2 
Wednesday night to end the city’s police department’s cooperation with ICE. 

Asian Americans Advancing Justice, Los Angeles, said the vote came after 100 people signed up to speakout against the memorandum of understanding. 

“We thank Council Members Pu, Liao and Menchaca who voted to rescind the agreement,” said NicoleOchi, supervising attorney at Asian American Advancing Justice-Los Angeles (Advancing Justice-LA).
“In a state and region where many cities and elected leaders are backing away from entangling with ICE,
we applaud the city of San Gabriel for making the moral and humane choice to maintain the trust of itsdiverse immigrant population.” 

Mayor Juli Costanzo and Councilman John Harrington opposed. Since the joint pact became finalDecember 7, 23 arrests have been made. 

“Beyond its specific terms, having this agreement paints San Gabriel as a place that’s unsafe for andunwelcoming to immigrants,” said Councilman Jason Pu. “That’s sad because that could not be fartherfrom truth.”
