36 deaths in 35 weeks. This is the deadliest year in LA sheriffs department custody and most people who have died are pretrial. What more has to happen before @LACountyBOS finally takes the bold steps needed to close Men’s Central Jail?

The LA Sheriff's Department's 35th in-custody death is... another 82 year old?

If local governments are serious about their sanctuary policies, they should close this loophole by ending their agreements with the U.S. Marshals. Learn more 👇 prisonpolicy.org/reports/jails_…

ICE's use of electronic monitoring has rapidly expanded. Now, more than 200,000 people on any given day are regularly surveilled & detained by ICE – over 4x as many as a decade ago.

Shame on @kathrynbarger & the COUNTY LAWYERS for their intimidation and removal of two key members of the COC. Tell her that her support of Sheriff violence does NOT go unnoticed! Call her @ 213-974-5555 and visit jlanow.org/CallBarger to see talking points #ProtecttheCOC

The decision to force out Bonner comes after several moves by the county and their lawyers to prevent the COC from DOING THEIR JOB & investigating cases of severe brutality and murders by LASD.

@kathrynbarger and @LASDHQ continue to suppress the Civilian Oversight Commission from holding the Sheriff Department accountable for their brutality. Read LA Times article by @@ConnorASheets to learn more. latimes.com/california/sto…

I’m here today outside Men’s Central Jail with the mothers and family members of people who died in custody. Last year, LASD deputies met this peaceful rally with riot gear. Kids were eating lunch as deputies lined up with shields and batons. Today, I don’t see that.
