This is the relevant part of the @radleybalko.bsky.social interview she mentions downthread. If they immediately issue a detainer as soon as fingerprints make it to the FBI/DHS, and ICE mobilizes quickly, then sanctuary city policies become largely ineffective as a firewall between local PDs & ICE - ThreadSky

One more reason police departments should be minimizing custodial arrests for minor offenses

Yeah this is how I read it. It was always a thing that happened but it seems they are using it more (but how to tell!).

i assume the tech makes it easier and easier every year…but the key bottleneck remains whether they have the manpower to show up at any jail in a few hours’ notice

That’s right. So the tech is kind of the same as under Obama but we don’t know what it contains … there are also errors, like ppl with the same name etc

dtha15.bsky.social•19 days ago

right it’s an insane system. and it drastically underselects for people who actually just snuck across the border (so generally aren’t in the ice database at all), overselects for people who overstayed their legally acquired visa (which is why their prints ARE in the database)
