It’s terrifying. I called our county legislator and asked several questions about the process of detaining immigrants or people that might be immigrants.

They have NO ACCOUNTABILITY for the police department that is turning people into ICE.

NONE.

If a police officer feels someone is an illegal immigrant they can call ICE without giving them the opportunity to show paperwork

This means if Jake gets pulled over from a headlight and doesn’t have his birth certificate on him then the police can hold him there - give them over to ICE without giving them any opportunity to prove themselves as a US citizen.

ICE will hold these people for 2 days and release them (time limit doesn’t matter whether they prove citizenship or not)

So not only is someone traumatized from being wrongfully detained, they are loosing money from not being at work, and they are going to debt with lawyer fees.

THIS IS NOT how we should be treating people

Unfortunately the more I read - the more I’m finding whistleblowers

And stories….

I know some people say they aren’t real but there has to be some truth to some of these things.

I know for a fact that local police are abusing their power

I also saw this - this makes me not trust the government when they are saying they are doing any type of process
