    Palm Beach County pledges to cooperate with feds on illegal immigration

    Monday, Sept. 25.

    Palm Beach County is promising it will cooperate with federal immigration agents as part of a new condition on grants awarded by the U.S. Department of Justice.

    Law enforcement agencies that sign a “certification of illegal immigration cooperation” will receive extra points used to decide how much in federal assistance they receive, a Justice Department official said.

    Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw agreed in the document to give immigration agents access to jails and provide up to 48-hours notice before releasing an inmate who is suspected of being in the country illegally.

    Bradshaw said his agency has already been working with immigration agents, and the jails under his control follow federal law.

    “We have not been, are presently not and will not be a sanctuary county as far as law enforcement is concerned as long as I am the sheriff,” Bradshaw said.

    Although no legal definition of a sanctuary community exists, the label applies to cities and counties with policies barring employees from fully cooperating with immigration officials.

    While Palm Beach County deputies cooperate with immigration agents, they do not assist in immigration roundups, and they are not deputized to fulfill the federal government’s responsibility of enforcing immigration laws, Bradshaw said.

    The Palm Beach County Commission approved the agreement unanimously Tuesday, and it will also be signed by the county administrator.

    In July, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced new requirements would be placed on federal dollars given to law enforcement as part of President Donald Trump’s efforts to crack down on “sanctuary” communities.

    Sessions said agencies that do not fully cooperate with immigration agents would be denied federal grants.

    On Sept. 15, a federal judge in Chicago blocked the federal government from imposing new conditions on federal grants, writing that the city of Chicago had shown a “likelihood of success” in its argument that Sessions exceeded his authority.
