Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, a perfectly normal federal agency that has definitely not become a Trump-era goon squad, has created a website to shame newly elected North Carolina sheriffs who have declined to imprison people without a warrant on ICE’s say-so.

If they don’t comply, the website says, ICE will have no choice but to conduct more raids in their communities—and wouldn’t that just be a shame?

The sheriffs elected last year in Wake, Durham, Mecklenburg, Guilford, and Forsythe Counties—all of whom, coincidentally, are black—campaigned on promises to stop cooperating with ICE on detainer requests or take part in the 287(g) program, which essentially turns sheriff’s deputies into de facto immigration agents. (In Wake and Durham, this was the campaign’s defining issue.) Since taking office, they’ve made good on those promises, to ICE’s dismay.

Earlier this year, after rounding up two hundred allegedly undocumented immigrants in mass raids, ICE blamed these sheriffs and threatened to continue its “more visible presence” in the state if they didn’t do as they were told.

After ICE complained, Republicans in the General Assembly tried to step in, crafting a bill that would force sheriffs to do ICE’s bidding. It died with Governor Cooper’s veto.

ICE’s biggest beef is the detainer requests, in which ICE asks sheriffs to keep suspected undocumented immigrants in custody for up to forty-eight hours after their charges have been adjudicated so that ICE agents can detain (and eventually deport) them.

But these requests are constitutionally dicey: They come only with an administrative warrant—meaning, a statement that an ICE agent believes the person is in the country illegally—not a court order or arrest warrant. In short, ICE doesn’t have to convince a judge that the people should be held in jail; it just wants local authorities to take the agency at its word.

Some courts have ruled that these requests amount to an unconstitutional second arrest and that detainer requests don’t constitute probable cause.

As Chris Lasch, co-director of the Immigration Law and Policy Clinic at the University of Denver, told the INDY last year: “The way I think about it is the federal government is sending over a piece of paper—the detainer—and asking the locals to hold somebody, but asking them to do it under circumstances where they don’t have authority to do it.”

As important to sheriffs who work in urban environments, partnering with ICE can breed distrust among Hispanic communities. If residents—including undocumented ones—don’t feel safe calling law enforcement because they fear they or their loved ones will be turned over to immigration officials, criminals can prey on the vulnerable with impunity. (Research, in fact, has shown that cooperating with ICE doesn’t make communities safer and that immigrants commit fewer crimes than natives.)

And, not for nothing, ICE frequently gets things wrong: According to the National Immigrant Justice Center, ICE wrongly identifies people for removal 30 percent of the time, which means U.S. citizens and legal residents could be held in jail without a court order over something as simple as a misspelled name in a database.

None of that matters, says ICE. What matters is that you should be very, very afraid.

“When law enforcement agencies fail to honor immigration detainers and release serious criminal offenders onto the streets, it undermines ICE’s ability to protect public safety and carry out its mission,” the agency says on its new website, which features rows of scary-looking mug shots of men who “MAY BE RELEASED INTO YOUR COMMUNITY.”

The mostly Hispanic men (and one woman) with “detainers outstanding” in ICE’s nifty Mug Shot Collage are charged with things like murder and drug trafficking and child sexual assault. Of course, never mind that they are actually in jail and—if found guilty—likely to stay locked up a while.

Take, for instance, Efren Caballero, an alleged murderer whom ICE says could be released from the Durham County jail. Turns out, Caballero has been locked up since Valentine’s Day 2016 on a litany of charges—assault on a female, burglary, attempted murder, and, yes, murder. His bond is set at $750,000.

He’s probably not going anywhere—and even if he was, how hard would it be for ICE to get a court order for his detention? They’ve had almost four years now to do so.

Same goes for Eliseo Gonzalez, another alleged murderer ICE says is coming for your family. He’s been in the Durham jail since November 2016 on a $500,000 bond. Again, ICE has plenty of time to secure a court order should he eventually be released.

The two other alleged murderers on ICE’s website aren’t eligible for release, according to The News & Observer.

ICE has sought about 160,000 detainers nationwide in the 2019 fiscal year, including 2,975 in North Carolina. Of those, according to data the agency gave WBTV, 489 detainers were declined by law enforcement.

As the N&O notes, “It is not clear if all of these inmates were released or if they were subsequently arrested by ICE.”

The 489 individuals whose detainers were listed had either been charged with or convicted of 1,427 criminal offenses, according to ICE. Most of the charges were for traffic offenses, DUI, assault, and drugs. There were only two homicide charges, and neither of those has resulted in a conviction—which means both individuals are likely still in jail. ICE declined to provide their names to the N&O.

If the sheriffs don’t get with the program, ICE’s website warns, the mass roundups will be on their heads: “As ICE has repeatedly made clear, when local jurisdictions refuse to cooperate with federal law enforcement, they not only betray their duty to protect public safety, but force ICE to be more visible in those areas.”

Got that? Do what we say, or else.

This is a perfectly normal government agency.

i saw an ex-goon 3liza is trying to start a forum in TYOOL 2019 and i'm wondering if it'll somehow get traction or just be another clique-y treehouse thing

i imagine the latter, we've already broken the seal on institutional-level soc media, and the majority of people still want to do their shitposting hobby where it has the potential to go viral and take a good shoulder shove at the discourse, so a whole NEW forum is kind of a weird venture

edit:
there was a mass twexit a couple years ago over nazi poo poo, mastodon tripled in size as a federated instance w/timelines, basically the inheritor of the forum lineage and then waned back down to background levels of content, nobody really cares about their "data" being monetized because we lack any means to monetize it ourselves and thus see it as worthless anyway

they recently did somewhat successful tests of suspended animation, with the clause that it'll be to freeze shooting victims for a better chance of surgery survival later, not trips to Saturn.
