San Diego County Sheriff Bars ICE From Using Local Law Enforcement Training Facilities
Just the facts
Sheriff Kelly Martinez cited local community trust and public safety concerns when barring Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers from county training sites. However, Martinez announced she will continue allowing U.S. Customs and Border Protection to use the county's Otay Range facility. The sheriff stated that revoking access for Customs and Border Protection could disrupt regional commerce and worsen wait times for the more than 225,000 individuals entering through local border ports of entry daily. San Diego County officials and law enforcement continue to evaluate future training options for regional facilities.
Why this is news
San Diego County Sheriff Kelly Martinez announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel will no longer be permitted to utilize county firing ranges and training facilities for weapons qualifications. The decision follows instructions from the San Diego County Board of Supervisors directing county staff to terminate facility lease agreements with federal law enforcement agencies.
