From: Supervisor Chu

From: Supervisor Ammiano
To: Immigration and Customs Enforcement
To: Chief, Police Department
To: Sheriff
To: District Attorney
Requesting/Inquiring: Recent news reports have indicated that, under the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), thousands of people are crammed into over-crowded detention facilities awaiting deportation or a judicial hearing regarding deportation or other immigration issues. Many doctors, nurses, and detainees have reported that the Division of Immigration Health Services (DIHS) has neglected the serious health care needs of both the physically sick and mentally ill at multiple detention facilities. As a result, some detainees have either died of treatable illnesses, or have been forced to suffer the painful effects of their illnesses due to poor care, slow care, or no care. Recent reports also indicate that the U.S. government has injected hundreds of deportees with dangerous psychotropic drugs against their will to keep them sedated during the trip back to their home country, even in cases where people have no history of mental illness.
Currently, many San Francisco residents have been taken into ICE custody through federal immigration
