The TRUTH Act forum is Kern County’s once-a-year public reckoning on how the Sheriff’s Office interacts with ICE. On paper, it’s about transparency. In reality, it’s where official talking points and community truth often collide. In this episode of Flor Unmuted, attorney Oliver Ma from the ACLU of Southern California joins me to break down what the TRUTH Act really does, why Kern’s political climate shapes law enforcement culture, and what past forums reveal about the gap between reported numbers and what’s actually happening. We’ll talk about the role of the Board of Supervisors, the influence of national immigration politics, and how residents can show up in force to demand accountability.
When: Tuesday, August 19, 2025 (regular Board of Supervisors meeting schedule)Time: 9:00 AM (typical Board meeting start time unless otherwise noted)Where: Kern County Administrative Center, Board of Supervisors chambers, Bakersfield, CA
