Illegal Immigrant Criminals Sue U.S. Govt. over Deportation

In a remarkably contemptuous move, three illegal immigrants marked for deportation after committing crimes are suing the U.S. government over the program that targeted them for removal.

The illegal aliens live in Georgia’s Cobb County, which has a population of about 600,000, and were discovered to be undocumented after getting arrested by local police for state crimes. One got booked after car crash for not having a driver’s license, another for shoplifting and the other for felony forgery.

Thanks to a local-federal partnership known as 287(g), the illegal immigrant criminals were reported to federal authorities for removal. The program has been effective in reducing violent crime in local communities and aiding in the deportation of tens of thousands of criminal illegal aliens who would otherwise fall through the cracks.

But 287(g) is unconstitutional because it “impermissibly delegates federal powers to local authorities with insufficient oversight,” according to the illegal immigrants’ attorney. Not only has Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) improperly delegated power, it has failed to train, supervise and otherwise oversee the sheriff’s deputies in Cobb County, according to the complaint which was filed in Atlanta Federal Court this week.
