ICE calls out Illinois county for releasing illegal immigrants with criminal records

    1 hr ago

    Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is calling out Cook County, Illinois, for releasing illegal immigrants who've been accused of crimes, claiming the county denied more than 1,000 detainer requests in the fiscal year 2019 alone.

    Detainers are requests by federal immigration enforcement for local jurisdictions to keep in custody immigrants who have been arrested on criminal charges and are believed to be "removable." Those denials translated into 1,070 criminal aliens and immigration violators getting released, the agency announced Friday.

    "When law enforcement agencies fail to honor immigration detainers and release serious criminal offenders onto the streets, it undermines ICE’s ability to protect public safety and carry out its mission," the agency said in a press release.

I strongly suspect that after Trump is re-elected that state and local municipalities will start holding illegal alien criminals for pick up by the INS once their federal grant monies stop showing up.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
