Local jails refusing to hold illegal aliens

[APACHERAT]

>" Local police agencies across the country are frustrating efforts at the federal level to detain and deport criminal illegal immigrants, leaving immigration officials scrambling to track them down.

In the last nine months, 275 counties have refused to honor requests from Immigration and Customs Enforcement that they be notified before releasing an illegal immigrant from custody.

In doing so, those jurisdictions have released some 9,000 with criminal records who otherwise would have been removed from the U.S.

In the past, these so-called “detainer requests” from ICE were routinely granted.

Now, however, the very counties that once turned over thousands of illegal immigrant felons to ICE are refusing -- afraid of being sued for holding the wrong person or forced to renege by immigrant-friendly policies in Democrat-dominated districts.

According to ICE Field Supervisory Agent David Marin, police are releasing murder suspects, firearms offenders, drug traffickers and documented gang members, despite requests not to.

"Statistics show of these convicted felons, 75 percent of them are going to reoffend," Marin told Fox News, during an exclusive ride-along with a fugitive task force. "So if we can get them in the jails before they get an opportunity to reoffend and create more victims, for us it is a win-win situation. By law enforcement agencies not honoring our detainers, it really undermines our authority and our mission, which is to go out and protect the public."... "<

However, roughly half those removals were initiated by the Border Patrol, not ICE. In the past, Border Patrol returns had not been counted as “removals.” The number of deportations resulting from interior enforcement by ICE declined by 19 percent from 2011 to 2012, and 22 percent in 2013..."<

While I'm all for protesting something when it's necessary to do so to prove a point, how does releasing criminals into the general population benefit anyone but the criminals? Maybe I'm missing something here, and it is only 275 counties involved, but where are those counties located? If I would guess they might be in the border states, and not elsewhere, would I be correct?

The way Obama and the Democrat Party looks at it, these are undocumented Democrats and will soon benefit the Democrat Party.

When it comes to enforcing immigration laws, Obama has been lazy.

And the "He has deported more illegals...." crowd will land in 3...2..1..

The Obama administration already got busted for lying about being the "Deportation in Chief."
The new Obama approved word is "removal."

But again the Obama administration got busted in another lie, they included the Border Patrol numbers of illegal aliens caught at the border and added them to the ICE numbers to inflate the numbers.

Facts are only a federal judge can issue a deportation order. And most of those who were ordered to be deported never returned to their home country. But the Obama administration counts them as being deported or removed.

It's because it's all talk with him. He talks about supporting immigration to get votes then not doing anything. Or you have the other side talking about not supporting immigration then also not enforcing laws. All the better for their cheap labor, two sides of the same coin. This problem didn't happen overnight and neither party has done ****.
