Officials in Glendale, Calif., abruptly cancelled the city’s contract with Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs and Enforcement under which the local police department holds immigration detainees on their behalf.

The city said in a news release Sunday night, two days after large protests broke out in Los Angeles over ICE raids on Hispanic neighborhoods, that it had made the decision because its association with ICE had become too “divisive.”

Other communities should follow suit — life will be much safer without ICE’s military caravans terrorizing neighborhoods.
