If they are arrested for a crime that's exactly what happens. If they are not the local/state police do not go out and do ICE's job for them. I'm done. You fail to understand the fact's and issue at hand either because you do not want to understand, lack the mental capacity to understand or are a Russian bot. At this point my guess is that it is all three.Nobody has said that rapists and murderers aren't held accountable for their crimes. SMFHIf anyone is arrested for a crime their info goes into the system. If they are "Illegal" ICE is informed immediately. If you believe sanctuary city means that cops arrest an "Illegal" for murder or rape, then find out they are illegal and say never mind you can go free, then it is pointless to discuss this with you. It simply does not work that way. These cops and mayors have said we won't actively do ICE's job. We do not have the time or the money to do their work.1) Local LEO do not round up illegals, yet as they come into contact with them via detaining them for a crime, they are supposed to run their info through their database and if they come back as illegally here/wanted by the feds, they are then supposed to hold them. Local LEO do not enforce federal immigration law.Question for you.How should illegal immigration be controlled? It seems that the mindset of the sanctuary city/state crowd is that once a person arrives illegally (or over stays a visa), that person should be welcomed to stay, establish permanent residence, become legally employed, receive government services, acquire a driver’s license, enroll children into public schools, and eventually seek citizenship and have the right to vote. In other words, the illegal immigrant is to be granted all the rights, benefits and protections as legal immigrants. How can we control immigration if we don’t treat illegal immigration as a crime and allow illegal immigrants to simply blend into our society? Also, if you believe we should have open boarders making all immigrants legal, just say so!
1: If immigration laws are federal and we have a law enforcement agency who enforces those laws why should overworked local police forces do the job of the feds?
2: If "states rights" apply to every federal law conservatives hate why do they not apply here?
3: If state/local police determine it is far safer for their citizens to allow people to report crimes without fear of being deported why should some federal employee tell them, "We will decide what your state will do?"
2)See 1.
3)The only time an illegals info is ran is when they are detained, not when they are reporting a crime. The feds merely require the local LEO to notify the date the illegal would be released from their custody and to hold them for up to 72 hours as allowed by law so the feds can pick them up.
You're right. People like to demagogue the issue. Rapists, murderers, etc. are held accountable for those crimes.
If, on the other hand, the only thing that a person has on the record is an accusation of being undocumented, the locals in San Francisco let it go. It's not that uncommon.
I have a relative (by marriage) that was picked up for having a joint on him. He was also on probation in that same county. The city charged him $50 for the joint and let him go. It wasn't even worth their time to hold him on the probation violation. This practice of Sanctuary cities is no big deal. It simply means the locals will not hold a person for being undocumented. It's not their job. Leave it to the anti-immigrant people and one day the IRS will be chasing you for a traffic violation.
The issue is if they are illegally here they are to inform DHS about their status and if DHS places a hold on that person, then they should hold that person for up to 72 hours as allowed by law for ICE to pick them up, the problem is sanctuary cities don't inform DHS nor do they hold the illegal as requested no matter how heinous the crime was.
I wonder why CA AG Becerra recently threatened business owners if they co-operate with ICE for illegals that may be employed by them. SMFH
