Santa Clara County jails see influx of ICE agents

Santa Clara County officials are standing back while the presence of federal agents escalates around county jails, even after the county declared its properties off limits to immigration officers. On Wednesday at about 10 p.m., Rapid Response Network volunteers confirmed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents had pursued a car leaving Elmwood Correctional Facility carrying two men just released from jail. Agents pursued the men on foot after they ran out of the car and used a Taser on one of them, according to an observer on the scene. Video from the incident shows the man slumped on the ground, with an agent holding him up by his upper body. He was transported to Regional Medical Center in East San Jose and was released later that morning, according to observers. He left without further incident. ICE observers said this is the first local incident they’re aware of involving federal agents using a Taser.

Santa Clara County reverses course, bars ICE from jails

Santa Clara County is restricting access to Elmwood Correctional Facility in Milpitas following recent violent incidents involving federal immigration agents outside the jail. The Sheriff’s Office has cordoned off the Elmwood parking lot, limiting access to people with scheduled visits, attorneys visiting clients, service providers and cleaning services. Visitors must present an identification card and explain the purpose of their visit. The policy — which began Friday following San José Spotlight’s reporting on an influx of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents waiting in the jail lobby and parking lot to detain people upon their release — is in effect indefinitely, according to sheriff officials. “Our responsibility is to maintain a safe and secure environment for everyone who comes to Elmwood, including staff, visitors, service providers and those leaving our custody,” Sheriff Bob Jonsen said in a statement.

Beware the ‘red mirage’ if California Republicans have an election night lead

By Ryan Sabalow, CalMatters This story was originally published by CalMatters. Sign up for their newsletters. It happens in close races in almost every major election. Early California returns show Republicans winning or at least faring better than expected. Then, as votes are counted over the following days, the tallies shift in Democrats’ favor. This “blue shift” or “red mirage” isn’t a result of California Democrats “finding votes” or rigging elections, as President Donald Trump and his supporters have repeatedly claimed. Trump and his allies in the federal government are already laying the groundwork for questioning the election results as they embark on an unprecedented attack on California’s elections, setting up what could be a showdown over the fundamentals of American democracy. Experts urge you not to be fooled by their claims of “rigged” elections based on early returns.
