LAW AND ORDER: Trump’s DHS Secures Deals with Over 900 Police Departments

1

From Breitbart: President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is continuing to secure deals with hundreds of local police departments and sheriff’s offices to help Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrest criminal illegal aliens.

This week, DHS announced a more than 600-percent increase in the agency’s 287(g) agreements with local law enforcement agencies across American communities. The agreements allow local police to seamlessly identify criminal illegal aliens in their jails and prisons and swiftly turn them over to ICE agents for arrest and deportation.

When Trump took office in January, there were just 135 police departments and sheriff’s offices that had 287(g) agreements with ICE. Today, almost 960 law enforcement agencies have such agreements to help ICE agents arrest illegal aliens.

Even more, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced new initiatives to entice hundreds more police departments and sheriff’s offices to sign 287(g) agreements, mainly by reimbursing such agencies for salaries and benefits of officers helping ICE and offering quarterly monetary performance rewards.

“ICE is not only supercharging our hiring, we are also multiplying partnerships with state and local law enforcement to remove the worst of the worst, including murderers, gang members, rapists, terrorists, and pedophiles from our country,” ICE Deputy Director Madison Sheahan said.

Sheahan credits Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill with providing the funding to make the initiatives successful.
