Rep. Jack Kingston released the following statement:

Georgia’s House Republican delegation, including Congressman Jack Kingston (GA-1), this week called on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to more swiftly implement the Secure Communities Initiative in Georgia.
The call comes after a meeting with ICE Assistant Secretary John Morton in which the delegation pressed for answers as to why Georgia had not been prioritized for the program which allows federal authorities to identify illegal aliens booked into local custody.

“That this program is not already completely implemented across our state is another example of the federal government’s ineptitude when it comes to enforcing our immigration law,â€

Only 13 of the 159 counties in GA. are now I.C.E. Secure Communities.

The following states have 90% or more of their jurisdictions enrolled in the I.C.E. Secure Community Program.

All other states do NOT.
