Cobb County, Ga. turns over 3,500 illegals to ICE in 1 year

@ 04:11 PM (11 months, 1 day ago)
I harp and harp about this: EVERY jail in this country should do the same thing. If jails did as they should then there would be a lot fewer illegal alien criminals let loose on our streets, free to reoffend and commit more crimes.

Thank You, Sheriff Warren and Cobb County

Cobb County began checking the immigration status of people arrested on local charges a year ago, becoming the first county in Georgia to assist in the enforcement of federal immigration laws. As of October, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency picked up some 3,500 prisoners arrested in Cobb County who were determined to be in the country illegally.

Cobb County Sheriff Neil Warren says the county’s immigration enforcement effort, which critics have said mostly targets Latinos, has not factored into an increase in the county jail population. Most prisoners are in county custody an average of 72 hours before they are picked up by ICE agents.
