Feds Order Illegal Aliens Released
View Discussion Last Updated: Thu, 07/30/2009 - 1:21pm

The Homeland Security agency responsible for enforcing federal immigration laws ordered a local sheriff to release dozens of illegal immigrants arrested during a recent crime suppression operation.

The three-day sweep in Arizona’s Maricopa County led to the arrest of 74 suspected illegal aliens, ten of which immediately admitted they were in the U.S. illegally. At least 25 were detained for a few days and should have been deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the largest investigative agency in the Department of Homeland Security which supposedly enforces immigration laws.

ICE conducts a partnership program that specifically trains local law enforcement officers to help enforce federal immigration law within their respective jurisdictions. The agency calls it one of the most successful and popular partnership initiatives as more state and local leaders have come to understand how a shared approach to immigration enforcement can benefit their communities.

Under the plan when local police arrest an illegal immigrant, ICE gets notified to take custody and begin deportation proceedings. Yet, when Maricopa County Sheriffs called ICE regarding the recently arrested illegal aliens, the agency ordered deputies to release all who did not have a criminal conviction in the U.S. This constituted a blatant violation of the partnership agreement—known as 287(g)—that the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department has had for two years.

The recent sweep was the tenth conducted by the Maricopa Sheriff’s Department in an effort to clean up notoriously crime-infested areas. About half of the nearly 500 people arrested in the operations were in the country illegally and hundreds had criminal histories. The arrests have upset immigration advocates who succeeded in getting the feds to launch a racial profiling investigation of Maricopa Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

This is hardly the first time that ICE fails to keep its end of the heavily touted local-federal partnership to capture illegal immigrants. Last year the agency was embroiled in several high-profile feuds with local police departments around the country involving previously arrested illegal immigrants who committed atrocious crimes after being released rather than deported.

In each tragic case, local law enforcement officials claimed that they notified ICE to put a hold on the suspect, all of which had criminal histories, yet the agency said it was never contacted. The negligence resulted in six murders and a rape in different parts of the country—Rhode Island, California and Colorado.

Unlawful and unconstitutional AMNESTY being applied by executive order although such measures have been rejected by both the American public and Congress!

Sickening !!!!

This being an executive order that is unlawful / unconstitutional .
( quoting William )
Would not the high or any court rule the order as such .
If unlawful and unconstitutional . Would not ? " ordering the release " of known criminal illegal aliens back into American society be of high crimes ? , misdemeanors ? or treason ?...... I don't get it ...... It just does not pass one atoms worth of rational thinking to do this . Or thinking they can get away with it . Am I wrong ?
Or quoting Obama , Is this ? at the least not " acting stupid " ?
Man if we keep loosing the teeth in the laws we have / had . ( 287g-Everify ,etc .) and that work/worked .
Can the state pass law and fund deportations ? Just completely crap can Ice ? Now for that I will pay another 60 cents for my smokes .
I would bet the majority of Arizona Americans would want to fund such a program .
Hang tough Maricopa county Sheriffs and God Bless America
