A Massachusetts sheriff is calling on Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to reinstate an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) contract to use a detention center in his county and apologize to officers, after the arrangement was terminated over allegations of mistreatment.
"Your recent decision to cancel all contracts between the Bristol County Sheriff’s Office and Immigration and Customs Enforcement is unjust, dangerous and flat-out wrong," Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson said in a letter to Mayorkas this week. "I urge you to immediately reinstate our partnerships with ICE and publicly apologize to my dedicated, professional staff that you demonized and embarrassed with your reckless, politically motivated decision."
DHS announced last month that it would no longer use two facilities, including the C. Carlos Carreiro Immigration Detention Center in Bristol County.
