NO ICE STATS FOR FEBRUARY '08
The CMPD reports that due to the closure of the CMPD jail during February, there are no ICE stats to report.
Costa Mesa prisoners were sent either to the county jail or Newport Beach jail.
The county does screen arrestees, but the information is not available on how many from Costa Mesa, if any, had ICE holds put on them.
The CMPD jail is now open for business and ICE is there screening all Costa Mesa arrestees.
However, the ICE report for March will only cover about a week and a half of arrestees.
The next full report is expected to be for the month of April.
By comparison:
In February of '07 there were 30 ICE holds including 11 after felony arrests.
In March of '07 there were 43 ICE holds and 20 were after felony arrests.
In April of '07 there were 50 ICE holds and 18 of those were after felony arrests.
