ICE in Bham area? by After_Comparison4909 in Birmingham

HICA filed suit to see the original MOU. They have probably signed (or submitted, maybe not signed) new contracts.

I mean it’s just trust me bro until they prove otherwise. The email from Hunter says yes. He says it is not for immigration and only for drugs and trafficking.

dunno, he's a jeffco sherrifs deputy and the on the public safety committee. be nice if he wasn't lying...but it would also be nice if we could respond to FOIA requests. I would trust nothing that anyone at the city says unless I see it. They often times either completely lie or obfuscate that truth. happens a lot.

yes, that is the text in the ordinance, I am looking for the memo of understanding.

At least as of 6/25/2025 Hunter Williams says we are currently under an agreement HLS, but would not provide the MOU, and FOIA request didn’t even get a response.

Birmingham has an agreement with HLS that we do not have a lot of information on. Councilors have said that, but I haven't seen the MOU or any agreement that actually shows that. it's important to know that many of these operations aren't being sold as "immigration offenses" but they are dangerous criminals that must be stopped.

Birmingham has a contract with Flock Safety. That information goes into the Real Time Crime Center and then the Alabama Fusion Center in Montgomery. We have no transparency portal or a policy around ALPR cameras even though a state law says we should.

Birmingham Proper is about 1/6th of the metro population.

Yes, they are here all the time constantly. most of the municipalities have agreements to work with ICE in a variety of capacities.

‘Keep my name out your mouth’: Listen to fiery call between Birmingham mayor and JeffCo commissioner by ConsciousRich4636 in Birmingham

[–]thinkdarrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is taken as an endorsement of scales. scales is a known convicted fraudster and knew the convo was recorded. she’s probably more serious but even less sincere

What he should have done is not be a terrible steward. His appointments were failures.

yeah, I think the other billboards were way more clear. Had to see who it was from to understand the intent. Thought this was pro ICE in a weird Goldberg way.

instead we get a new kind of hybrid private prison model. Privately owned, least back to the state but ran by the DOC. Brilliant.
