The illegal actions of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office made national news in a recent ProPublica article: "These Local Jails Were Supposed to Detain Immigrants for Only 72 Hours. One Woman Was Held for a Total of 26 Days."
Let your elected officials know what you think about this travesty of justice by showing up and speaking out at two upcoming public meetings:
County Commission Meeting (Sept. 10; 2 pm) at 333 Chestnut St., Clearwater
Public Safety Coordinating Council Meeting (Sept. 14, 2 pm) at Pinellas County Justice Center, 3rd floor, 14250 49th St. N., Clearwater

ICE OUT OF PINELLAS
ICE OUT OF PINELLAS
Since the beginning of the crackdown on immigration which began in January 2025, immigrants in Pinellas has been arrested, taken to the Pinellas County jail where they wait to be picked up by ICE to be taken to a detention centers. There are substantial reports of human rights violations in those detention centers. At least 70% of those arrested have committed no crime.
They are refugees.
They have been denied due process. Due process is a human right.
The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Department has trained 47 Deputies to work with ICE. 36 deputies have been trained as Warrant Officers.
We demand our sheriff and other public servants end their agreement to work with ICE. Per the sheriff’s department public affairs office, they have received no money from the federal government to compensate them.
We say No to ICE Pinellas County. End the 287(g) agreement. Close the Detention Centers. No Warehouse Detention Centers.
JOIN US IN FRONT OF THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE SATURDAYS FROM 10-12.
