General Order 1.24 Page 3 of 6 <br /> <br />1. Deputies should make all attempts to identify any person they detain, arrest, or who come <br />into the custody of the Sheriff’s Office. <br /> <br />2. Any person who would be cited and released, but who is unable to present satisfactory <br />evidence of his or her identity, will be detained for the purpose of establishing his or her <br />identity, consistent with the treatment of all individuals. <br /> <br />E. ICE IMMIGRATION DETAINERS AND REQUESTS FOR NOTIFICATION <br /> <br />1. The Alameda County Sheriff’s Office previously received immigration detainers (Form I- <br />247D formerly known as the Form 247) from ICE. The Alameda County Sheriff’s Office <br />no longer honors these detainers/holds. <br />2. The Alameda County Sheriff’s Office currently receives and accepts the Department of <br />Homeland Security (DHS) I-247N form (Request for Voluntary Notification Release) <br />from ICE as part of the 2015 Priority Enforcement Program. The Request for <br />Notification does not seek any extended detention of the individual, but is merely <br />asking that they receive timely notification of the release of priority aliens for which <br />there is an enforcement interest, as indicated by the issuance of the Request for <br />Notification. <br />If ICE asks for information about an individual that we would otherwise share with other <br />law enforcement agencies or is publicly available information), the Sheriff’s Office shall <br />share this information with ICE. To be clear, the Sheriff’s Office shall not extend the <br />detention of an inmate so that ICE may detain the individual; rather, the Sheriff’s Office <br />shall only provide ICE with timely notification of release. Upon receipt of a Request for <br />Notification, if Sheriff’s Office staff has any questions and/or concerns, the on-duty <br />Watch Commander/Sergeant should be contacted before acting upon such a request. <br />3. Furthermore, the Sheriff’s Office may also inform ICE about the release of <br />undocumented inmates, even if ICE has not made a formal Request for Notification, <br />where the Sheriff’s Office believes the individual(s) pose significant public safety <br />concerns. Such determinations shall be made on a case by case basis. <br />4. TRUST ACT. The Trust Act (AB 4, 2013) provides that a person may not be held in <br />custody solely on the basis of a request for notification and/or detainer if he or she is <br />otherwise eligible to be released from custody. “Eligible for release from custody” means <br />that the individual may be released from custody because one of the following conditions <br />has occurred: <br /> <br />a. All criminal charges against the individual have been dropped or dismissed; or <br /> <br />b. The individual has been acquitted of all criminal charges; or <br /> <br />c. The individual has served all the time required for their sentence; or <br /> <br />d. The individual has posted a bond; or <br /> <br />e. The individual is otherwise eligible for release under state or local law. <br />
