California sheriff ends cooperation with ICE on transfers of immigrants who committed crimes
Fox News
San Mateo County Sheriff Carlos Bolanos announced Tuesday that his office would no longer respond to any requests from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) about the release or transfer of illegal immigrants in order to "protect the safety" of residents in his Northern California county.
"It has become apparent to me that complying with those requests regarding the pending release of undocumented individuals who have committed serious crimes is undermining the trust we need to protect the community," Bolanos said in a written statement. "It simply is not worth losing the trust of many members of the public by continuing to process these requests from ICE." Former acting ICE director Jonathan Fahey joins ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ to discuss the ongoing border crisis.
Bolanos said the change comes after meeting with hundreds of residents who gave their input earlier this month at a Transparent Review of Unjust Transfers and Holds (TRUTH) Act forum, a meeting that is required when law enforcement cooperates with ICE.
