EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado — More than two dozen illegal immigrants have been let go since Friday because federal immigration agents failed to respond to calls to pick them up, Eagle County sheriff’s deputies said.

Eagle County sheriff’s deputies talked to two vans of illegal immigrants Friday and another van was pulled over Sunday on Interstate 70. The majority of the people, who said they were illegal immigrants, were let go after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement either said the agency was not available or did not respond to calls to pick them up, sheriff’s deputies said.

Immigration and Customs had “no such informationâ€

OK people... go after the Feds.. they are stealing your taxes and giving you shitty service in return and doing a very poor job at the very, very minimum... if they cant do the job we pay them to do it's time to get rid of the leadership

What are you waiting for... for that drunk driver to hit your car and maim you... do you not care if your daughter is being stalked walking home from school. It is time for federal officials to get the boot from office, not a pay raise. If you act retarded and with a lack of care.. that is how the government will continue to treat you .. it's time to get busy

Yes, even if they have an immigration hold, if ICE doesn't pick them up the county has to release them.

The department of Homeland Security is not doing it's job. It was much more effective INS and before immigration became a cabinet position under the president.

Normally, the agency determines whether suspects being held by local police are illegal immigrants, Rusnok said. If they were illegal immigrants, Immigration and Customs would detain them and deport them, Rusnok said.

That's not what the Mayor in Irving, Texas is saying.

Sheriff’s deputies wanted to make sure the group was OK and that they would be warm enough if they could not make their trip, he said.

Great, we have ICE practicing more 'catch and release', or more correctly 'catch and ignore', which they promised would NEVER happen again, and the local sheriffs are worried that the lawbreakers are warm enough to travel on and continue with their illegal invasion.
