LOS ANGELES – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles said Thursday that non-cooperation from local law enforcement continues to impede its efforts to put undocumented immigrants facing criminal charges in federal custody.
The agency said that state and local “sanctuary” policies result in the release of hundreds of immigrants back into the local community after their arrests for alleged criminal activity.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva has made clear that his department will not cooperate with ICE and will not turn over undocumented immigrants to the federal agency.
ICE Acting Director Tony H. Pham said that such policies “create an irresponsible safe harbor for criminal aliens who seek to prey on the most vulnerable members of our communities. Immigration enforcement is about applying the law.”
Immigration detainers serve as a legally authorized request, upon which a law enforcement agency may rely, to continue to maintain custody of an immigrant for up to 48 hours so that ICE may assume custody for removal purposes. Pursuant to policy, all ICE detainers are submitted with an accompanying administrative arrest warrant or warrant of removal depending upon the circumstances of the individual case, according to the agency.

… the Eric Garcetti crowd, they love their militants, criminals and gangbangers, almost as much as they do, their illegal immigrants –

So, the ”SHERIFF” isn’t going to cooperate with FEDERAL LAWS??… Amazing!! VOTE HIM OUT! There’s another agency calling for the Sheriff to RESIGN… He was voted in office in 2018, & he can surely be voted out as well.. I want a ”Sheriff” that’s going to abide by ALL LAWS, both Federal & State.. It’s a Federal crime to ”abete & harbor illegals in our Country..”Sanctuary States” are breeding grounds for illegals to commit crimes & go unpunished with DEPORTATION when they violate our laws. STAND UP TO THE LAWLESSNESS!! RESIGN SHERIFF VILLANUEVA!!

That is so 2018. Republicans used a fear of migrant caravans coming in waves to destroy us, so we had to get out and vote republican!!!!! Notice right after the primaries u literally stopped hearing that? Did they stop coming, did they disappear? What happened? I know the party didnt need them as a scare tactic anymore. U need to catch up magnetlady. The fear tactic Republicans use in 2020 is VOTER FRAUD!!!! Oh my gosh!!!! So get out of 2018 and get on board with the party in 2020. Worried about illegals is so 2018. Lol.

You sound like a highschool brat which is “So 2010-“. Either you’ve never been affected by illegal immigrants being poverty pimped by scumbags that trash your neighborhood and harass your livelyhood or you are one of them which is “So up to date”. Also, if republicans were using scare tactics, would they be tearing down monuments or looting and setting fire to small businesses or getting violent with someone with opposing opinions? Oh my gosh! Classic democratic snob that is “So out of date” as well as out of touch with reality and expects everything to be handed by mail such as voting cards. The “Cancel Culture” don’t care to cancel out their wrongs and flaws yet their nose are up like dogs sniffing out everything thats wrong with people that they don’t feel equal or greater than because of their mind sucking delusions. Sheriffs need not cooperate with their higher-ups yet they expect the public to cooperate with them. If he wont cooperate with ICE then hell ya, vote him out and have illegals deported. I’ve personally had enough of em all. On a final note, categorizing everything by the year is “So 1990s”. You are So on the pinnacle of today’s fashion and political views aren’t you…? Maybe you can teach them a thing or two during their ride back to the otherside of the U.S.

I’m glad u picked up my sarcasm on that then smart guy. BTW….there is a chance I’m older than u. Hope u get the sarcasm in this one too……BTW…
Alby says
What’s the matter? Cant get any older? Lol
Alby's wake up call says
Dear Alby the Ostrich.
Did immigrants crash the economy in 2008-9? And, again in 2020?
Did immigrants invade the wrong country in 2002 looking for WMDs that weren’t there?
Did immigrants know that COVID was deadly but played it down to avoid panic while causing panic about immigrants? 200,000 dead Americans and counting but you don’t seem to notice.
There’s much much more Alby the Ostrich but what good is it when you have your head bured in the Mojave Desert sand.?
Matt says
Sniper!!! Alby is down, think it came from the trees. Lol. U are overmatched sir. Just stop before u break a hip or something.

Immigrants did contribute to the 08-09 crash but much less in 2020. Americans were the infadels creating NPT states for the security of others around the globe against radical-head-chopping-islam while illegal immigrants were back in the U.S. advancing their cocaine and heroine empires and influencing the youth to be dumb cholos. Chinese didn’t warn Americans soon enough about the virus in shipping crates headed to the U.S. so it was played down a bit and if it weren’t for the economic shut-down and mandated quarantine for most of the states, especially well populated ones, then the numbers would have been doubled or tripled and potentially have caused nastier viruses due to the lack of refrigeration units to store the dead during countless autopsies. And as much as I would like to bury my head in the sand or curl up in a fetal position with my thumb in my mouth, there’s much much more that I probably need a neck as long as an ostrich to get a birds eye view of drink specials to help soothe the burn of whats going on around here lately.
Alby's wake up call says
Attention everyone!
Alby just demostrated how to rant in 200 words or less.
Don’t take it seriously. It’s just the Kirkland vodka talking.
Look closely as there might be some punctuation there. I’m surprised he put spaces between the words.
It reads like this>
“Immigrantsdidcontributetothe08-09crashbutmuchlessin2020.”
Imagine what it’s like in his head…like Boo Radley watching 2 and 1/2 men in Esperanto.
Alby says
I’m sure you would know plenty about Costco wholesale alchohol while you are behind a computer critiquing my way of typing rather than expessing an opinion of your own regaurding immigration. Maybe its just your defensive mechanisms kicking in because ICE might come knocking at your door to take you away into a secured room with alot more than two and a half hombres and you wont have access to free cable to fulfill your Charlie fetish.
Alby's wake up call says
Wowee!!! Alby. That was some snappy comeback about COSTCO.
You’re well known around here for smart, funny and thoughtful comments/replies.
Notice how reading that last sentence made your head spin. But, not Alby’s. The room is always spinning for him so he can just hold still.
Alby says
Well known my a$$. I’m just as known as anyone else on this website with an opinion pertaining to the topic. A reader speaking out. What do you do other than trying to critique ones writing? Maybe that’s all you do. Hope it makes you a living.
Magnetlady says
I think you miss my point Matt… We have FEDERAL & STATE laws that need to be enforced, not just on illegal immigration, but ALL laws.. Whose next that the Sheriff won’t arrest? The Republican’s had nothing to do with my opinion either..BTW, after the election there were CARAVANS coming to our Southern Border, please CATCH UP Matt, it is 2020.
Matt says
Sigh…..again my point was when I “signed up” to be a cable guy u said I knew the dangers of coronavirus going in. Wrong. That’s all. Nothing about the article. And of course they were still coming, and of course they still are, it just isnt needed as a scare tactic now so u hardly hear about it. Now Trump feels he could lose this election and worse than that he could go to jail. So….he must delegitimize the election. Thatd the tactic for 2020. There now u are all caught up.
