From CIS: New Numbers Show Effectiveness of Cancelled 287(g) Program in Two Georgia Counties
Some examples of dangerous individuals who were taken off the streets in Gwinnett and Cobb Counties under 287(g)
Elections have consequences and, in the State of Georgia, a consequence of two local sheriff races could be a reduction in public safety. The only question is: How badly will the new sheriffs’ policy changes affect community safety? Both newly elected sheriffs pledged to eliminate the 287(g) program — a program designed by Congress to enable trained local officers to enforce immigration laws under ICE supervision and to serve as a force multiplier for ICE, which lacks the personnel to address the large population of deportable criminal aliens encountered by local authorities. Trained officers are able to use ICE databases to determine the immigration status of inmates and initiate immigration charges under ICE supervision, eliminating the need for an ICE officer to be present at the jail. The program currently is used only in prisons and jails, and therefore involves only those criminal aliens who have already been arrested for a crime.
Newly elected Gwinnett County Sheriff Keybo Taylor cancelled the law enforcement partnership on January 1.
- Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office (GCSO) accounted for 4,262 foreign-born encounters in FY 2020, 25.2 percent of all 287(g) encounters nationwide (16,903).
- GCSO has reported 57,911 foreign-born encounters since the inception of the program in FY 2009 through FY 2020.
New Cobb County Sheriff Craig Owens has pledged to end the program within his first 100 days in office.
- Cobb County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) accounted for 1,097 foreign-born encounters in FY 2020, 6.5 percent of all 287(g) encounters nationwide.
- CCSO has reported 21,984 foreign-born encounters since the inception of the program in FY 2007 through FY 2020.
Nationally in 2020, the 287(g) program encountered approximately:
- 37 aliens convicted for homicide;
- 920 aliens convicted for assault;
- 1,261 convicted for dangerous drugs;
- 104 convicted for sex offenses/assaults;
- 377 convicted for obstructing police; and
- 190 convicted for weapons offenses.
Here are some examples of dangerous individuals who were taken off the streets in Gwinnett and Cobb Counties under 287(g):…see the rest here.
What President Trump really said on the topic of illegal immigration in 2015
The below is taken from a June 16, 2015 report in the the liberal Washington Post on President Trump’s speech when he announced his candidacy for president.
Here is the quote from the part of his speech that most liberal ‘journalists’ lie about.
Our country is in serious trouble. We don’t have victories anymore. We used to have victories, but we don’t have them. When was the last time anybody saw us beating, let’s say, China in a trade deal? They kill us. I beat China all the time. All the time.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: We want Trump. We want Trump.
TRUMP: When did we beat Japan at anything? They send their cars over by the millions, and what do we do? When was the last time you saw a Chevrolet in Tokyo? It doesn’t exist, folks. They beat us all the time.
–> When do we beat Mexico at the border? They’re laughing at us, at our stupidity. And now they are beating us economically. They are not our friend, believe me. But they’re killing us economically.
The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems.
(APPLAUSE)
Thank you. It’s true, and these are the best and the finest. When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
It’s coming from more than Mexico. It’s coming from all over South and Latin America, and it’s coming probably — probably — from the Middle East. But we don’t know. Because we have no protection and we have no competence, we don’t know what’s happening. And it’s got to stop and it’s got to stop fast.
(APPLAUSE)
TRUMP: Islamic terrorism is eating up large portions of the Middle East. They’ve become rich. I’m in competition with them.”

Longstanding Georgia law requires jailers to report incarcerated illegal aliens to DHS – It’s not enforced and that’s not “news” OCGA 42-4-14
UPDATE: “What we will not be doing is notifying ICE of anybody’s immigration status in the jail or any of our facilities…”
Newly sworn Gwinnett County Sheriff Keybo Taylor, January 1, 2021 as reported by the Associated Press.

–> This is a good time to remind all concerned that deferred action on deportation (including DACA) does not confer lawful presence or legal status. And if DACA recipients had entered the U.S.A. lawfully they would not require deferred action on deportation.
Shorter: Illegal aliens with DACA are illegal aliens. See here.

TITLE 42. PENAL INSTITUTIONS CHAPTER 4. JAILS ARTICLE 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS
§ 42-4-14. * “Illegal alien” defined; determination of nationality of person charged with felony and confined in a jail facility * According to Legislative Counsel this sentence, using the term “felony,” is merely a ‘catch phrase’ written by Nexus Lexus to describe the law. It is inaccurate and will be corrected. The law applies as written, see subsection (c).
a) As used in this Code section, the term “illegal alien” means a person who is verified by the federal government to be present in the United States in violation of federal immigration law.
(b) When any person is confined, for any period, in the jail of a county or municipality or a jail operated by a regional jail authority in compliance with Article 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, a reasonable effort shall be made to determine the nationality of the person so confined.
(c) When any foreign national is confined, for any period, in a county or municipal jail, a reasonable effort shall be made to verify that such foreign national has been lawfully admitted to the United States and if lawfully admitted, that such lawful status has not expired. If verification of lawful status cannot be made from documents in the possession of the foreign national, verification shall be made within 48 hours through a query to the Law Enforcement Support Center (LESC) of the United States Department of Homeland Security or other office or agency designated by the federal government. If the foreign national is determined to be an illegal alien, the keeper of the jail or other officer shall notify the United States Department of Homeland Security, or other office or agency designated for notification by the federal government.
(d) Nothing in this Code section shall be construed to deny a person bond or from being released from confinement when such person is otherwise eligible for release; provided, however, that upon verification that any person confined in a jail is an illegal alien, such person may be detained, arrested, and transported as authorized by state and federal law.
(e) The Georgia Sheriffs Association shall prepare and issue guidelines and procedures used to comply with the provisions of this Code section

Media Release sent to numerous Atlanta/state and national news outlets: Detailed complaints against Georgia state Representative Kasey Carpenter and City of Dalton officials

Expert on Georgia E-Verify laws files detailed complaints against Georgia state Representitive Kasey Carpenter and City of Dalton officials
* County Sheriff declined to investigate. * GBI reportedly has possession of complaints.
Complaints involve violation of E-Verify law for private employers (OCGA 36-60-6) protection of Public Benefits (OCGA 50-36-1) and filing false documents/obstruction of public administration (OCGA 16-10-20).
Pro-enforcement immigration activist D.A. King filed two detailed and well-researched complaints in Dalton, Georgia on September 29, 2020. One against the officials in the City of Dalton and another involving Dalton business owner Kasey Carpenter. Carpenter is also a state Representative.
Complaint # 1 (Dalton officials) here.
Complaint # 2 (Carpenter) can be read here.
King reports that he cannot find any prosecution or sanction for violation of the 2011 private employer E-Verify law but doubts it is the first law in memory that sees 100% compliance. “Filing false documents and obstruction of public administration is a serious charge as is the betrayal of public trust,” says King.
“I spent weeks on my own investigation and dealing with open records requests” said King. “Interest and concern with violations of these laws seems to be totally absent on the part of officials at multiple levels in the state.”
Email reply from Whitfield County Sheriff can be seen here. The complaint was later sent to the Conasauga Circuit District Attorney. Any investigative reporter interested in government transparency and equal application of the law can see the entire detailed narrative on the blog at the original DIS website.

“We have already shared this story with several news outlets and do not expect coverage of violation that involves illegal immigration. We note from long experience a lack of media willingness to focus on the absence of enforcement of the laws intended to deny jobs to black market labor in Georgia. But this release will serve as a marker in the future,” added King.
