More police agencies getting on the 287 (g) program

@ 11:49 AM (3 months, 18 days ago)

This is very good news. A lot of localities are fed-up with illegals and having to release them back on the streets to commit more crimes when they should be deported.

According to stateline.org, a kind of clearinghouse for state and local government issues:

At the start of 2007, only eight police agencies took part in the 287(g) program; now a total of 47 police agencies in 17 states participate, with 90 more waiting to sign up. To date, more than 50,000 people have been deported or have been marked for deportation under the 287(g) program, according to [Immigration and Customs Enforcement]. More than half of those were processed since October.

But ICE is short of money to expand the program, which reimburses local police agencies for holding prisoners, pays for a five-week training course for participating officers and provides the technology to allow those cops to access federal immigration databases.
