Immigration & Border
Robert G. Luna says the sheriff’s department does not participate in civil immigration enforcement, does not ask about immigration status during service calls, and will protect residents regardless of legal status. He has also said the department would not enforce civil immigration laws amid federal deportation efforts, while still assisting other law-enforcement agencies when appropriate.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
