Today is the day: The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Department intends to start limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Interim Sheriff Rob Giordano is out with a policy revision that says jail authorities will only respond to ICE detainers when the inmate has a previous conviction for a serious crime. Those crimes include murder, robbery, sexual abuse and several others listed in the 2014 California TRUST Act, plus 14 others the county considers a threat to the community.
