"ICE spokeswoman Leticia Zamarripa said that ICE special agents now "routinely, if not daily, check facilities in the areas, including county jails, looking for foreign-born nationals to place immigration detainers on people, even those with traffic tickets. All illegal immigrants will be placed in removal proceedings."
That seems to contradict all sorts of things I've read about ICE refusing to pick up illegals detained, but maybe it is new?
Have you heard of it before?
I think deporting all of the 302,000 Homeland Security estimates will be brought into our local jail and prisons this year, who would not normally be deported, would be a huge step in the right direction.
What do you think?

helo pilot - I have seen a number of articles saying that sheriffs, etc. have called ICE to pick up illegals and have been told to let them go. Homeland Security also testified recently to Congress that 302,000 would be deportably in our local jails and state prisons this year, where they would not have been deported under old practices. Look at the link to see that the two people in question had previously committed crimes and not been deported. It is pretty wide-spread, apparently.

This post has MADE my day, thank you.
I hope that it is true, it needs to be true. Why they are just now doing this truly baffles me, you would think that they would check the jails and prisons to begin with.
I am wondering how this will work in a sanctuary city?? Will the city of LA let ICE deport the illegals in their jails ?
All in all though this is good news and hopefully becomes standard practice.

Criminal aliens are a top priority for ICE. Random illegal aliens are not. They have to confirm that the person is in fact in the country illegally before they can deport them. If a random person calls, even a police officer, telling them to deport someone, they will ignore it because they get so many of those calls and they cannot confirm the status of the person before going over there. ICE agents do not want to waste their time running around every time some person thinks they've caught an illegal. If the person is already in jail, they can get the info and look it up and the jail will hold them until they can be transported for deportation. ICE does not have the authority to arrest and detain people who are here legally and can be sued for a bunch of money if they do it. So they know they better be sure before they get in their vans and go running.

IF true, it is about time.... but a few more steps need to be taken.... LIKE actively searching for and deporting all illegal aliens and their children... no birthright citizenship to children born in the USA to illegal alien parents.... or to an illegal alien and a legal citizen combination of parents.... ALL illegal aliens must be evicted with haste.
Absolutely NO AMNESTY

properly, whilst criminals pass to detention center it additionally breaks up families; so does homicide. the U. S. needs to get extreme approximately development a border fence and actual deporting unlawful extraterrestrial beings. the U. S. additionally extremely needs to arrest and imprison extreme executives and proprietors of companies that hire unlawful extraterrestrial beings. i do no longer think of that Wal-Mart nor Christianity are the reason the guidelines are not enforced. Nancy Pelosi, between others, owns companies that hire illegals - as do many others and their supporters on the two aspects of the aisle. The Dems and Repubs alike desire for a destiny "Hispanic balloting Bloc" to advantages them for ignoring our rules and advertising our citizenship contained in the deliberate "immigration reform." unlawful extraterrestrial beings do no longer take any of our regulation heavily. One right here substitute into allowed to proceed his declare for political refugee status particularly of being deported after being convicted of felonies; on a similar time as working around unfastened he shot and murdered a police officer execution form. Others vote early and usually - as one former neighbor advised me, "it relatively is unlike Mexico the place they only choose human beings to vote as quickly as."

Suspects in slayings have share of crimes
By Louie Gilot / El Paso Times
The Juárez men who may be responsible for raping and murdering women in Juárez left a trail of petty crimes on the U.S. side of the border, as well as broken promises to stay out of the United States, court documents showed.
Jose Francisco Granados de la Paz, in particular, had a lengthy criminal record in the El Paso area that included drug possession and two deportations.
Granados de la Paz, 28, and Edgar Alvarez Cruz, 30, are accused of killing a 17-year-old Juárez high-school student named Mayra Reyes in 2001 and suspected in the sexual murders of 16 other girls and women, officials with the Chihuahua state attorney general said. Alvarez Cruz was charged Thursday in Juárez with one murder.
Granados de la Paz is currently serving 37 months in a New Jersey federal prison for trying to come back into the United States after having been deported.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said they had put a detainer on Granados de la Paz so he would be released to them for deportation to Mexico after he finishes his sentence, possibly in 2009.
Granados de la Paz was arrested Oct. 16, 2005, after he told an immigration inspector at the Zaragoza Bridge that he was a U.S. citizen who had forgotten his passport at home. A scan of his fingerprints revealed he was a Mexican citizen with two prior deportations and a lengthy criminal record. Five days before pleading guilty to re-entry by a deported alien, he smashed a television set on the floor at the El Paso County jail, earning him a criminal mischief charge, federal and local court documents show.
It was hardly his first misdemeanor charge.
As a teenager in 1995, Granados de la Paz was arrested for evading arrest in Las Cruces and, five months later, for criminal trespass in El Paso.
Then in January 2001, he was arrested for possession of cocaine in El Paso, his only felony charge. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 10 years probation. Ten months later, the bodies of Mayra and seven other women were discovered in an old Juárez cotton field.
In July 2002, Granados de la Paz was arrested for possession of marijuana and inhalant paraphernalia in El Paso. In August 2002, he was arrested again for possession of inhalant paraphernalia in El Paso.
