Chula Vista to Issue First Report on ICE Activity Under New Transparency Law

Chula Vista is set to release its first report on interactions between local police and federal immigration agents, following the signing of the 'Safe Neighbor' ordinance. - The ordinance requires biannual reports to the City Council and public incident reports for each ICE-related call.

- ICE arrests in Chula Vista surged to 52 last year, with 60% of those arrested having no criminal record. - School attendance dropped 5-8% at Camarena Elementary after an ICE arrest outside the school.

- Mayor John McCann abstained from the vote, citing his Naval reserve service. The first report is expected by the end of June, aiming to increase transparency and address community trauma.
