Democrats Work to Defund Police Program So Criminal Illegal Aliens Can Evade Deportation
John Binder6 May 2021920
A group of House Democrats, including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ayanna Presley (D-MA), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), are asking House appropriators to defund a police program in order to help criminal illegal aliens evade deportation from the United States.
The 31 House Democrats, led by Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), have sent a letter to the House Appropriations Committee requesting that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) 287(g) program be defunded.
The 287(g) program allows local law enforcement agencies to sign agreements with ICE to seamlessly identify criminal illegal aliens and turn them over to federal agents for arrest and deportation.
The program is highly effective. In January, for example, local police in Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and South Carolina successfully helped turn criminal illegal aliens over to ICE agents.
