On June 1, Oakland’s Privacy Commission, the first citizens municipal commission on privacy in the country, recommended the termination of the memorandum of understanding between the Oakland Police Department and the federal Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Division (ICE).
The recommendation is two-pronged. Firstly, to exercise the 30 day termination provision in the existing agreement and secondly, to rescind previous City Council authorization to enter into any agreement with ICE which would prevent a new agreement from being signed.
The recommendations will move to the city’s Public Safety committee and then to the full City Council. To date, every recommendation from the Privacy Commission has been adopted unanimously.
