Chief Art Acevedo
Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo is on the 40-person review board that will review the use of privately-run immigrant detention centers in the US, reports the Statesman.

Chief Acevedo and Annise Danette Parker, former mayor of Houston, are the only Texans on the review board. They have been asked to review the use of for-profit corporations in the detaining of immigrants throughout the country. Chief Acevedo will be on a subcommittee to investigate private detention centers, while for mayor Annise Danette Parker's role is unsure. The review must be completed by the end of November.
