The Trump administration is working with like-minded sheriffs from around the country on a plan to channel undocumented immigrants from local jails into federal detention, according to several sheriffs involved in the discussions. If it succeeds, it could vastly expand the dragnet that has already begun to transform immigration enforcement in the United States.
The plan is intended to circumvent court decisions that have thus far limited the role of local law enforcement in immigration. It involves a legal move regarding detainers, which are requests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to local sheriffs or police departments to hold people who are suspected of being in the country illegally, even after they have posted bail, finished their jail sentence or otherwise resolved their criminal cases.
A handful of sanctuary cities refuse to honor detainers on ideological grounds, but a larger number of sheriffs who otherwise support the Trump administration have also turned down detainers because courts have found that they violate the Fourth Amendment.
The legal move, in which sheriffs would essentially serve as contractors for ICE, is intended to protect sheriffs from such court battles, which have sometimes resulted in costly payouts. Some legal advocates for immigrants, though, expressed doubt that courts would view it as being different from current practices...

Since when does the Fourth Amendment apply to illegal alien criminals?
I’m not a neverTrumper. I’m one of his cheerleaders. Regardless, where’s the wall? It’s mere pettiness on your part to defray the issue with accusations. But we’ve come to expect such from people like you.
President trump plays 3-d chess, while the lefty judges play checkers.
President Trump ====> Trying to make America safer.
Liberals ====> Trying to make America a war zone.
Gee, so complicated on who to support......
We have run out of patience but still haven't shown up with pitchforks and torches. Until then, they will continue to ignore us.
Total anarchy is what the Liberals / Democrats are playing since Queen Hillary collapsed by the van.
“We the People have understandably run out of patience.”
Talk’s dirt cheap.
Maybe all this monument crap will be The Last Straw.
If they’re transferring them from local to fed jails, you’ll still be paying for their room and board, only more. They did come to America looking for a better life, though. I guess federal detention fills that bill.
Yeah, what is a matter with Trump, he should have done this LAST year.
Boo Hoo us virtuous are all alone against THEM.
Trump’s Wall of Words and enforcement of the law may make a wall unnecessary but those morons won’t understand it.
It may be sufficient to build a prison called “the Wall” to house all these being rounded up.
Trump is being attacked on every imaginable front and you are whining?
That does not sound like the kind of support anyone could count on.
Is this why Francis is upset?

That number wildly exaggerated the number.

Maybe grant all prisoners a ‘semi’ pardon.
Start up our own ‘Devils Island’ (preferably in the Aleutians)
IF anyone with a ‘semi’ pardon sets foot back in this country, their sentence is tripled, to be served at Devils Island.
Make it a big Island so we can drop the first group off with plenty of building supplies to build a settlement and a railroad. In 1 year drop off another batch of ‘prisoners’, taking them as far as the RR goes.
Same deal, supplies to build a settlement and extend the RR as the next group will be taken to the end of the line etc etc etc
