San Diego County Sheriff Kelly Martinez has announced a ban on US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel using the county's firing range and other training facilities, while allowing US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to retain access. The move reflects growing friction between some local law enforcement agencies in California and federal immigration authorities amid the Trump administration's expanded immigration enforcement drive, and comes as tensions over ICE operations continue to draw scrutiny nationally.

Details of the announcement, made on a Tuesday, indicate a clear distinction being drawn between ICE, which is barred from the county-run training resources, and CBP, whose officers will continue to be permitted to use them. The decision sits against a backdrop of heightened attention on federal immigration enforcement activity in the San Diego area, including recent CBP drug seizures at border ports, though the full rationale behind the sheriff's specific policy was not detailed in the available report.
