Here's our updated meeting calendar. We look forward to seeing you there!

05/28/2026

The Los Angeles County Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission (Commission) will host a virtual forum entitled “ICE-Y Conditions: Know Your Rights and Navigate the Law” on June 10, 2026, Wednesday, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Open to the public, the forum is intended to ensure that community members know their constitutional rights, including the right to film encounters with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and other masked federal agents, and to communicate with their loved ones who have been detained. It will also look at how the LASD ensures that its deputies adhere to constitutional standards, and how to access community resources.

The panel will include community leaders, clergy members, and representatives from the U.S. Congress, LA County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) and Office of Immigrant Affairs. They will each make a brief presentation, which will be followed by a moderated discussion and an opportunity for the audience to provide public comment and submit questions online.

The forum is a continuation of the Commission’s August 7, 2025 virtual forum entitled “Los Angeles County Law Enforcement Roles in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.”
