Negative - nice try to spin.You want your local sheriff to use local tax dollars to jail people who would be released for a crime they were arrested for if they were not undocumented, you are certainly free to pursue that politically.
'The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) posted the DHS ‘detainer’ report that shamed dozens of noncompliant sanctuary cities announced that more than 200 illegal aliens who had been detained for breaking the law were released from custody from local jails across the United States – in the face of requests from federal officials to briefly hold them.'
Even though the detainer requests only required the criminals to be held for two days or less, hundreds of refusals by local police departments were recorded.
“In these cases, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency asks local police to hold illegal immigrants for up to 48 hours – long enough for ICE officers to pick them up and put them into deportation proceedings”
'local governments sent the message to Washington that they have no intention of abiding by the federally imposed mandate'
Felons and other serious offenders are held by local agencies and cannot make OR or bail if they are not legally in the country. Those who have traffic violations, a petty theft or other minor misdemeanors are the ones protected by local authority.
