The Department of Homeland Security has escalated its clash with so-called sanctuary states this week, warning California, New York, and Illinois in letters obtained by CBS News that refusal to honor immigration detainers could trigger federal legal action.
In letters dated Sept. 10, Acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons ordered the attorneys general of the three states to declare within two days whether they would comply with “thousands of ICE detainers” lodged against individuals in state custody, according to DHS. Immigration detainers are formal requests by ICE asking local jails and prisons to notify the agency before releasing an individual, and to hold them briefly so federal agents can take undocumented migrants into federal custody.
Lol California would bankrupt the US if it stops payments.
Let’s add NY and MA just to be sure.
Well if alligator Auschwitz can just lose track of hundreds of prisoners I don’t know why these states couldn’t accidentally lose track of detainees as well
Do it. Then blue states can stop paying federal taxes.
We fund them. And I wish we would stop.
Immigration ain’t their fucking job. It’s yours. Deal with it.
It’s not legal in Oregon to do this, the state isn’t allowed to use resources to help with immigration enforcement. Also why Oregon is considered a sanctuary state.
They are going to do it anyway so tell them to suck a bag of dicks
