Editor,
With regards to recent Daily Journal article “San Mateo County ends ICE relationship,” a few points must be noted.
1). Puente and Corzo speak about data and the dangers of misinformation; yet, the board has not made recidivism data available to the public. In a recent interview with ABC, Canepa stated “I don’t know?” when the reporter inquired about recidivism data. Residents should ask themselves: Why is this data not being made public?
2). Canepa speaks about 40 organizations (who he seems to be beholden to) being slapped in the face but ignores thousands of San Mateo County residents who want commonsense safety policies, have written to the board and have simply been ignored.
3). Slocum takes the cake and eats it too by calling people emailing him on a practical matter of safety as “white supremacists.”
Overall, supervisors Canepa, Corzo, Pine and Slocum have allied with special interest groups putting their own resident’s lives at risk. They have done so without sharing data and allowing sufficient time for resident outreach. Are these leaders truly representing us?

Perfect example of trying to fix something that is not broke for the sake of virtue signaling. Limiting resources to fight human trafficking, sex exploitation, and organized crime and gangs makes no sense at all.
Well written, Amit. Many would agree that supervisors Canepa, Corzo, Pine and Slocum are aiding and abetting known felons. Voters get the government they deserve so either voter’s need to wise up, or they’ll get more of the same, and perhaps even more extreme and hazardous to the public.
The ordinance is vital to keeping our communities safe. The ordinance ensures that everyone, including survivors or witnesses of violence, can come forward to receive the help they need without fear of discrimination or the threat of deportation. Opponents have relied on criminalizing language to promote their anti-immigrant agenda and by doing so shift the focus away from systemic needs to improve the criminal justice system and mental health services, and instead cruelly scapegoat immigrants.
I bet you think its "hate speech" to speak out against transgenders. I bet you want to criminalize language. Hypocrisy at every corner with you,
Westy - no need to scapegoat immigrants. These illegals did it to themselves. As usual, you refuse to differentiate between legal and illegal. Illegals who committed crimes and served time, have every right to a free ticket home, where they are probably not welcome either.
None of these people have the required mindset for fairly governing a collective of people. In my opinion, they are all untrustworthy, illogical, and quite frankly dangerous, We cant allow these people to hide behind their gaslighting and bs woke politics that they use as an excuse to subjugate us. Their failure to protect the community at large has real life consequences
