Is this concerning cities, counties, or states ridding the sanctuary laws? No vetting whatsoever to allow all these criminals into this country but now they demand vetting to get them out. How utterly insane.Coincidence?
Orange County ratifies agreement to cooperate with ICE
Orange County commissioners approved an agreement Tuesday to federalize county jail officers to hold and transfer inmates who are accused of violating immigration law.
Under the agreement, 17 county jail staff will be trained by the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to serve as warrant service officers to detain and turn over inmates who ICE accuses of being in the country illegally, according to Orange County Corrections Chief Louis A. Quiñones.
Last month, the Republican-led state Legislature passed a sweeping immigration law that forces local governments to enter into cooperation agreements with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, called 287g agreements.
Because Orange was the last of Florida’s 67 counties to ratify the agreement, Demings said he feared the state would make an example of the county and punish it for non-compliance.
But the two commissioners who voted against ratification – District 1’s Nicole Wilson and District 5’ Kelly Semrad – pushed back, saying the state was trying to intimidate duly elected county leaders.
“Being coerced is not the same as an agreement,’’ said Wilson, an attorney.
