A sheriff’s department in California is ending its agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in order to free up space to meet demands for mental health services, according to a press release.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement on March 27 that it has developed a plan to fund and increase staffing ratios for inmates with mental health and substance use disorders, which includes temporarily suspending operations at the James A. Musick Facility and ending their contract with ICE.
