News on what is not in “the news” – January 2021 email to Marietta Daily Journal publisher Otis Brumby lll- 287(g) OCGA 42-4-14
Note: The below email was intended to insure the publisher of the Marietta Daily Journal was aware of the existence of state law that requires all jailers to use reasonable effort to determine immigration status of incoming prisoners and to report illegal aliens to U.S. DHS. To our knowledge the MDJ has not run any news item informing readers of the existence of this law or the fact that the Cobb County Sheriff is in violation. Similar emails were sent to most other news outlets in Georgia.
We do not know of any news stories on this topic. More here and here and here.
Related: MDJ (and MDJ-owned Rome Tribune) did run a story on Cobb Sheriff inviting a mariachi band to the celebration event in which he announced he was ending the lifesaving 287(g) agreement in the Cobb jail. The liberal Atlanta Journal Constitution ran a story on both Cobb & Gwinnett sheriffs ending the 287 (g) program and the AJC ran a celebratory story a year later explaining that neither sheriff was reporting illegal aliens to the feds.

Otis,
Due to first-hand, educated contempt, I have not been involved in Cobb politics in a long while and have not seen your paper in years because of my near total absence of respect for your editors. Those feelings do not apply to you.
Heads up: You need to understand that the new sheriff knows very well (I have made sure of it, personally) that long standing state law requires all jailers to report illegal immigration status to DHS, – 287(g) or no 287(g).
A friend has sent me a pasted version of a news article for the MDJ “Bold, necessary, and overdue”: Sheriff Owens declares end to 287(g) immigration enforcement” that lacks any form of balance, topic knowledge or coverage of the law I describe above. I am proud to have worked on this law with Chip Rogers in 2006 and several times after that including 2011 on HB 87. We put this language in the code as a ‘Plan B’. It is counter productive for the media to keep it secret. It is also counter productive to not comply.
Dustin Inman and literally thousands of other Americans have lost their lives because illegal aliens have been released from local custody and then gone on to kill or harm an innocent. The Cobb Sheriff is using talking points from the far-left that he does not understand. And he is smearing LEO brothers in the process as “profiling.”
I am taking the time to fill you in out of great anger and an effort to save some lives. The AJC refuses to educate their readers. I hope that is not the case with the MDJ. I have subscribed online to watch.
The liberal AJC will no longer run my LTEs
I send one to opinion page editor Andre Jackson periodically – he stopped replying or publishing. Here is latest attempt.
Meet the AJC leadership team as of today:

US economy will soon start losing 175,000 jobs a month, Bank of America warns New YorkCNN Business, October 10, 2022)
The Federal Reserve’s fight to squash inflation will cause the US economy to start losing tens of thousands of jobs a month beginning early next year, Bank of America warns.
Although the jobs market remained surprisingly strong in September, the Fed is working hard to change that by aggressively raising interest rates to ease demand for everything from cars and homes to appliances.
The pace of job growth is expected to be roughly cut in half during the fourth quarter of this year, Bank of America told clients in a report Friday. Here.
* Better.com planning fourth layoff in less than 9 months (Techcrunch.com August 25, 2022)
It is unclear at this time how many people in total will be laid off in this latest round, but one impacted worker estimated that it would be “at least 250 or more” and that they “will all be from the U.S. side.” Another source said the company seemed to be “going for higher corporate salaries.” And: “In less than nine months, the company has let go thousands of workers, seen numerous senior executives step down and delayed a SPAC that it recently said it was still working toward.” Here.
* Major Tech Companies Are Freezing Hiring And Rescinding Job Offers. What You Need To Know (Forbes, August 8, 2022)
“Nicole López-Conti interviewed with a mid-sized tech company in May. After meeting seven staff members, completing three rounds of interviews, submitting work samples and doing a project, the company informed her it was no longer hiring for the role.
“It’s truly been a disappointing and bizarre interaction from the beginning,” she says. López-Conti estimates she spent about 16 hours preparing and participating in the interview process.
Despite reports of nationwide job growth, López-Conti isn’t the only applicant who’s hit a dead-end. The tech industry has seen a wave of hiring freezes in the past few months, with several large companies citing concerns over an economic downturn.
According to Layoffs.fyi, a website that tracks layoffs in the tech industry, more than 65,900 tech employees have lost their jobs this year…. More here.
* Why are Atlanta tech companies laying off employees?
Meta Platforms Inc., the parent company of Facebook, is preparing employees for “the worst downturn that we’ve seen in recent history,” according to The New York Times. Netflix Inc. is cutting hundreds of jobs. Carvana cut 2,500 employees from its payroll.
