A county with 800 people that is only 1.4% foreign born in Nebraska does not need a 287(g) agreement turning sheriff deputies into ICE agents.

We need a map of 287(g) agreement areas.

Other groups may have better maps, I am sure, but the "official" list is online and public.

Thank you.

Today, it's just arresting people to deport, tomorrow it's just arresting women getting abortions out of state. Wheeler County, the red square, is on a N-S highway connecting OKC to several reservations.

Such statements by the sheriff should be read as the BS they are.
1) There are simply not "immigrants" with criminal records who are not incarcerated. (ICE copaganda for "arrests" is largely showing people ALREADY IN PRISON).
2) LEO have always been tranferred immigrants to ICE for deportation

There's massive propaganda out there suggesting there are immigrants with criminal records who aren't incarcerated. There aren't. This county is very good at 1) incarcerating people and 2) deporting people who have a record of arrests.

Anyone saying they are "just" looking to "cooperate" because of "criminals" -- even accepting (which I do not) the idea that people with criminal records should be deported, it's just false on its own premise. No data to support this, none. That's why ICE is inventing "crime."

I don't care what sanctuary jurisdiction you are in or whatever your sheriff says. All law enforcement have always assisted with deportation. Those are just the facts.
