1. Protecting Immigrants

   Danny immediately fulfilled his central campaign promise by formally terminating his office’s 287(g) partnership with ICE, ending the agreement that had deputized his office to assist in the Trump Administration’s mass deportation effort. He signed an additional order prohibiting deputies from inquiring about the immigration status of crime victims, eyewitnesses, or court observers.

   Since terminating this partnership, Danny has worked tirelessly to rebuild trust between the immigrant community and local law enforcement.

2. Domestic Violence

   Danny’s top priority has been improving his office’s ability to protect and support domestic violence survivors. He has increased manpower and shifted additional resources to ensure that the office can act swiftly and effectively to address domestic violence.

   • Created a new team dedicated to immediately removing abusers from the home they share with their victims
   • Authorized deputies to charge contempt violations, leading to enhanced compliance from abusers
   • Dedicated more resources to confiscating firearms and weapons from abusers (women are 5x more likely to be murdered in a domestic violence incident when there is a firearm in the home)

   Danny’s reforms led to a county-record average 97% clearance rate for Protection From Abuse Orders, never dropping below 94% in his tenure – up from lows of 78% under the previous administration. These cases are also being cleared faster and on a higher volume than in the past.

   • The United States Marshals Violent Crimes Fugitive Task Force to apprehend high-risk fugitives
   • The Department of Justice to share intelligence to aid in the capture of local criminals with active warrants.
