CNS News–
Cases of local authorities refusing to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention requests more than doubled in the first eight months of the Trump administration compared to the same period a year earlier, according to ICE records.
ICE also issued 81 percent more “detainer requests” to local jurisdictions during that period – from President Trump’s inauguration until the end of FY 2017 – compared to the same period a year earlier, during the Obama administration.
The requests ask local authorities to keep individuals in custody or provide 48 hours’ notice prior to their release. A total of 112,493 were issued by ICE between the day Trump took office on January 20 and the end of FY 2017 (Sept. 30, 2017).
