Glendale will no longer hold ICE detainees at police department facility
The city manager of Glendale, California, is terminating a contract with the Department of Homeland Security that required the Glendale Police Department to house some immigration detainees at its facility, according to a statement on the city website.
Several law enforcement agencies across the country have similar contracts with DHS, which are limited in scope and do not require local law enforcement to help bring undocumented immigrants into custody.
The press release does not mention the Los Angeles protests but acknowledges that the contract "has become divisive" and that the decision to terminate it "was not made lightly."

"Nevertheless, despite the transparency and safeguards the City has upheld, the City recognizes that public perception of the ICE contract -- no matter how limited or carefully managed, no matter the good -- has become divisive," the statement said. "And while opinions on this issue may vary -- the decision to terminate this contract is not politically driven. It is rooted in what this City stands for -- public safety, local accountability, and trust."
