A police chief was absent from a committee meeting where a quarterly immigration enforcement report was presented. The report detailed interactions between police and federal immigration authorities following an amendment to a cooperation ordinance. A division manager appeared in the chief's place, presenting data to the committee.
Committee members and the public sought an explanation for the chief's absence, but none was given. Some members questioned whether the absence was related to an active lawsuit.
Further details about the meeting and the report are available from the source, including the response of committee members to the chief's absence and the content of the report itself.
