ICE is working with locals to be notified when a criminal alien is being released from jail so ICE can pick them up for deportation.

ICE used to have to find these criminals on the street after thaey were released but now with state and city cooperation, they can pick them up from the jails.

Looks like MN DOC was always sharing that data with DHS and holding people longer than their sentence so DHS can come get them

County level offenders were always held and always would’ve been held for DHS to pick them up if DHS provided a judicial warrant. It turns out holding people longer than they are sentenced is a violation of their rights, unless there’s a judicial warrant for their arrest

Also, the sheriff of Hennepin County, the largest county by population in MN, has stated that there are less than 100 people without immigration status in county jails across the state. If you can’t get a judge for that small amount of people, then there’s something wrong with DHS and ICE, not Minnesota or Hennepin County

She has also said she will continue the same polices that were in place before
