WICHITA, Kan. - Sedgwick County Sheriff Jeff Easter says the department is finally receiving from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, documents that had been asking for since 2014.
Sheriff Jeff Easter says the department will now honor ICE detainer requests, now that the agency is providing probable cause affidavits. Easter says the department stopping complying with the requests in 2014, following two federal court rulings.
In those cases, the court ruled that ICE must provide probable cause for the detainer. Otherwise it violates the constitution.
In one of the cases, a sheriff's department was forced to pay $100,000 in fines for detaining immigrants without that affidavit. Easter says the department stopped complying with the requests and then began meeting with the agency.
The sheriff says they had been trying for the past several years now to work out a solution, but without any results.
In January, President Trump signed an executive order that would strip federal funding from so-called "sanctuary jurisdictions" that were not complying with ICE detainers. Sedgwick County receives around $11 million each year in federal funding.
Sheriff Easter says ICE has agreed to start providing the probable cause affidavits with the detainer requests it makes. Easter believes having the affidavits will limit the county's liability in case of a lawsuit.
