Yesterday Asian Americans Advancing Justice Southern California (AJSOCAL) sent an open letter to the sheriffs of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Imperial, and Kern Counties. AJSOCAL’s Director of Litigation, Sean F. Bigley, asks each sheriff to publicly commit to and implement a set of protections by Oct. 24, 2026, when vote centers open in most of these counties, ahead of the Nov.3 General Election. These commitments are not only rooted in legal requirements, but are also essential to protecting voters from intimidation, preventing unlawful entanglement with immigration enforcement, and ensuring all eligible voters can participate in our elections free from fear.
