Maryland Democrats Vote to End 287(g) Cooperation—Then Call It “Public Safety”
Annapolis, MD — With a lopsided 99–40 vote, the Maryland House of Delegates advanced House Bill 444, legislation that effectively bars state and local law enforcement agencies from participating in federal 287(g) agreements with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Supporters framed the bill as a moral stand against “mass deportations.” Critics see something else entirely: a deliberate…
The ACLU is blasting Marathon County’s plan to join a federal ICE program, saying it could lead to racial profiling, wrongful detentions — and leave local taxpayers footing the bill.

President's Policing Task Force Targets Immigration Enforcement
The president's Task Force on 21st Century Policing, which was formed in the wake of Ferguson and other controversial policing events last year (none of which had anything to do with immigration), unfortunately has become another opportunity for anti-immigration enforcement activists to fabricate "mainstream" support for the continued crippling of DHS enforcement agencies by the Obama administration. read more
Myths about LA County's Successful 287(g) Program
On Tuesday, May 12, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is set to vote on a proposal to end its longstanding and successful 287(g) partnership with ICE, which is one of the largest in the country. Activists for illegal aliens are pulling out all the stops to pressure the board members to cancel the program and have sent a barrage of emails and phone calls in favor of fewer criminal alien deportations. read more
Allegations of Corruption by a S.C. Sheriff in Overriding ICE Detainers
A friend has made me aware of a legal battle playing out in South Carolina. This coming September 3, there is to be a pretrial conference between the federal government and longtime Lexington County Sheriff James Metts, who is being prosecuted by the United States Attorney's Office for bribery, conspiracy, and other charges. Metts is the longest-serving sheriff in South Carolina, having first been elected in 1972. read more
ICE Cancels Enforcement Agreements with 32 Local Partners
Last week, ICE quietly announced that it was terminating 32 local enforcement task force partnerships, known as 287(g) agreements, some of which have been operating successfully for as long as ten years. This follows the revocation earlier this year of seven other task force agreements in Arizona. ICE has offered no specific reasons for the cancellation of these agreements, other than that it thinks it can do a better job without its local partners. read more
Another One Bites the Dust
Criminal aliens, illegal drunk drivers, identity thieves, and gang members are breathing a sigh of relief in Prince William County, Va., as they now have much less chance of being disturbed or uprooted by ICE or local police, thanks to the latest move by the White House to dismantle the successful 287(g) enforcement program. Last week, county officials were informed by ICE that their program was next on the chopping block, following cancellations in Arizona and North Carolina. Despite having identified about 5,000 removable aliens who had been arrested for other offenses and processing a large share of them for removal at little cost to ICE; enabling ICE agents in Virginia to give better service to other parts of the state; and despite the absence of any findings of abuse or mismanagement, the White House has decided that the program must go. read more
