U.S. Says Sheriff Could Face Prosecution for Releasing Immigrant

[multivita-man]

He should be stripped of his authority and sent to jail. These people are traitors.




“The Justice Department called for an investigation of a sheriff in Ithaca, N.Y., who had released an undocumented man who was later arrested by federal agents.”

Unless the DOJ can actually cite a federal statute he violated, any prosecution will get tossed out in court. There's this thing called dual federalism. Look it up sometime.

 

[whitehall]

It is a crime. The Feds should prosecute him to set an example if nothing else.

 

[TemplarKormac]

ICE detainers are requests and not legally binding.

So you just lied on purpose, which tells me you're educated about this issue and willfully take the wrong side.

Life sucks, don't it?

Immigration Detainers

On March 19 due to precautions implemented by employers and employees associated with COVID-19, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that it would exercise prosecutorial discretion to defer the physical presence requirements associated with the Employment Eligibility Verification...

www.ice.gov

"ICE has the general authority to detain aliens who are subject to removal or removal proceedings, which enables ICE to make these requests."

If ICE wants to detain them, they’re legally entitled to. If they want to issue a detainer, they’re legally entitled to.

But they can’t force other people to detain them on their behalf. They can’t force other people to communicate with them. That is what the detainer asks and is not legally enforceable.

You’re confused. What I said is perfectly accurate.

Arizona v. United States in 2012 says States cannot make their own immigration laws.

Looking at California, looking at New York.... you get the idea.

This is what I would love to see, the arrest of everyone who purposely obstructs federal law enforcement from doing their jobs. We need to make an example out of as many of these people as we can.

 

[Concerned American]

Funny thing, no sheriff is obligated to enforce federal law. They are sworn to enforce state law.

No one asked him to enforce federal law. Different LE agencies work in cooperation with others. Think extradition laws. The sheriffs agency was finished with their issue with the illegal immigrant. Traditional cooperation would dictate that they release the illegal immigrant into the custody of the federal authorities. A good example would be a military member who is convicted of a civilian crime, upon release would be turned over to military LE. The sheriff is guilty of obstructing federal LE. A case could be made for aiding and abetting as well.

That the Sheriff has a trans-freakazoid flag displayed on his desk tells you that he's a total fruitcake. ....

The supremacy doctrine says otherwise.

Since regulating immigration is relegated to the Federal Government, it allows them to take action on immigration. It gives them power to obligate everyone in the union to abide by immigration law. Legally speaking they aren't required to issue detainers. They have the power to go in and detain any illegal immigrant suspected of a serious crime, other than illegal entry.

Sanctuary laws are unenforceable. The supremacy clause makes it clear, and Arizona v US in 2012 does as well, that States cannot make policies on their own regarding immigration. That includes states like California, New York, and Illinois.

I hope the people remember that come the next election for Sheriff.

Unfortunately, the county is packed with Liberal Progressive Democrats, schooled by Cornell University. The main town in Tompkins County is Ithaca.
The County Sheriff is beholden to the the president of Cornell and not the people that elected him.

Sorry. You don't get to hole yourself up in your sheltered little world and ignore the facts of the matter.

He is educated. He refuses to accept what he has to learn, which is just as bad.

I think that is known as "willfully stupid"

ICE detainers are requests. You are not violating any laws by declining to comply with the request.

You don’t have facts on your side.

Immigration law does not require local police to act as immigration police.

 

[TemplarKormac]

They can’t force anyone else to enforce immigration law for them.

Yes, they can. I laid out in plain what the law allows and what it doesn't.

You'd sooner allow illegal immigration to continue unfettered than to allow ICE and the Federal Government to implement their full authority over immigration.

 

[WEATHER53]

Not should.
Will.

Moroner just stated that federal immigration law enforcement is a choice for any individual in law enforcement

 

[Marener]

Yes, they can. I laid out in plain what the law allows and what it doesn't.

You'd sooner allow illegal immigration to continue unfettered than to allow ICE and the Federal Government to implement their full authority over immigration.

No, they can’t. You are not required to assist law enforcement.

The law allows them to make a request. There is no law requiring anyone to comply with the request.

Then he won't be disappointed when he asks for assistance from the Feds and they refuse to offer information to the county P.D....
