Between October 19, 2010, and June 6, 2014, the County of Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department had a policy of detaining inmates beyond the expiration of their state criminal charges based on immigration detainers issued by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for suspected immigration violations. Due to this policy, inmates were held beyond being acquitted of state criminal charges, beyond being ordered released by Courts, and beyond having served their jail sentences. Under the terms of a class action settlement, the County of Los Angeles agreed to pay for a $14 million settlement fund.

Administering an Assurance of Discontinuance for Energy Service Companies
In the past several decades, the retail supply of electricity and natural gas has been deregulated in many states. While public utilities continue to own the energy delivery infrastructure, a third-party company can apply to become an energy service company that sells retail energy to customers. The business practices of energy service companies are governed and regulated by each state. If a private energy service company violates a state’s business practice regulations, the Office of the Attorney General can institute civil proceedings against the company to enforce the state’s laws. Such civil proceedings can be resolved through an Assurance of Discontinuance (AOD).
