This is a huge part of the problem. Local cops just don’t bother to be proactive. It’s the old they didn’t tell me this person was wanted!! Come on now! You mean to tell me that persons name isn’t already in a computer data base?
Some things just don’t pass the giggle test
Then is it agreed that every person arrested must pass e-verify. Once e-verify gets a hit, the locals are told to hold and through e-verify, it automatically tags ICE with a pick up notice. Then just to make sure the locals are not screwing up, each year there is an automatic electronic audit to balance the arrests with e-verify inquiries.
If the local law enforcement agencies wish to continue with ANY federal funding they must comply with the plan.
Geez, this is just too easy to implement and manage.
We had a recent tragedy in NE Florida. Nassau County Detective Oliver was present as the immigration authorities were checking on the immigration status of a pick up load of “roofers”. During the encounter, one of the detainees sprinted away and the deputy was in foot pursuit when he was hit by a vehicle. He was DOA. The illegal was apprehended 45 miles away in Jacksonville. He had been deported TWICE already to San Salvadore. Under questioning he said he had reentered the US five days ago by wading the Rio Grande.
BUILD THE DAMN WALL. Electrify it. Back it up with land mines and M-60s. We did not deserve to lose this wonderful deputy. Lastly, two of the other six were also illegal status “visitors”. Seems to me whomever was employing these guys without having checked on their lawful status should be shot too.
