Cloverdale resident asks police chief whether department would cooperate with ICE
Summary
A resident used public comment at the council meeting to ask Police Chief Parker whether the Cloverdale Police Department would coordinate with U.S. immigration authorities for deportation requests; the transcript includes the question but not the chief’s response.
During the public-comment period of the Cloverdale City Council meeting, resident Lariva Miles addressed Police Chief Parker and asked whether the Cloverdale Police Department would cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to identify, detain or deport residents if asked to do so.
Miles, who identified herself as a Cloverdale resident of about 16 years, said she believed “Cloverdale is a community policing city” and asked how the department would handle requests to coordinate with ICE, adding that many residents might be fearful to ask the question in public.
The transcript provided contains the resident’s question but does not include a response from Chief Parker in the supplied excerpts. The record shows the public-comment rules were read aloud at the start of the meeting and the Brown Act was invoked to note the council cannot act on items not on the agenda during public comment.
No formal action or staff direction on immigration enforcement was recorded in the provided transcript segments.
