#MAGA: Sanctuary County Cries �Uncle,� Goes After Illegals Before Trump Takes Over.
President-elect Donald Trump has made it clear that he intends to strip federal funding from
jurisdictions that act as �sanctuary� cities or counties � i.e., ones that protect
illegal immigrants from deportation.
Now, that policy change has scared one county enough that they�ve preemptively reversed
its decision to act as a sanctuary for illegal immigrants, according to New York Newsday.
Suffolk County, New York, hasn�t held inmates wanted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement
since 2014, according to Long Island Business News.
Sheriff Vincent DeMarco planned to change that; the Long Island county will no longer
require a judge�s order before turning wanted inmates over to ICE.
�I do believe this is good public policy because it focuses on criminals,� DeMarco
said, according to Breitbart.
�We�re talking about people who entered the country illegally and have committed crimes
and have been convicted of crimes.�
The new regulations will place a 48-hour detainer on all inmates wanted by ICE.
�I opposed open-ended detainer requests because, among other things, they placed an
enormous burden on local government to spend millions on incarceration to cover unfunded
mandates,� Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone told Newsday.
�However, Suffolk County works closely with federal law enforcement, and a limited, 48-hour
detainer represents a step in the right direction.�
While both insisted they were ending the sanctuary policy out of purely criminal concerns, there
were some doubters.
�I mean, let�s face it � a new administration is coming in and the new administration has
said, unambiguously, they�re going to take an entirely different and harder approach
toward sanctuaries,� said Dan Cadman of the Center for Immigration Studies.
�I don�t think that many counties and many county sheriffs and some police departments
want to be between the hammer and the anvil.�
So, even before he takes office, Donald Trump has already had a major practical effect.
Way to go, Mr. President-elect!
