Duval County, Florida. Getting on the 287 (g) program.
I'm very glad to see any jail take a step in this very right direction but why stop with felons, why not check all arrestees?
Thanks, Duval County
- Jacksonville officers have begun joining forces with deputies from around the state to train for a new crime-fighting program aimed at combating crimes committed by illegal immigrants.Currently, suspects booked into the Duval County Jail are subjected to a local background check and officers cannot determine whether someone is an illegal immigrant. However, that is expected to change because of a partnership between the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, several correctional officers and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.On Friday, Sheriff John Rutherford stood with the newly trained corrections officers. Soon the group will do background checks on felons who are booked into the jail to determine if the suspect is in the country illegally.
