Above the fold this AM in The Capital: Pittman move led ICE to quit pact
We will end up as a sanctuary county, elections have consequences. With all the cybe people moving in, county is going blue.
Federal immigration officials say Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman undermined their public safety mission by ending participation in the 287(g) program, which trained corrections officers to screened inmates for immigration violations.
In a statement emailed to The Capital, a spokesman for the agency said the decision to end a contract with the county for housing immigration detainees was directly tied to Pittman’s decision to stop participating in the screening program.
“ICE looks to partner with counties that are willing to cooperate in support of our public safety mission and believes the (county’s) decision to terminate the agreement undermines this mission,” Vincent Picard, acting assistant director for ICE Public Affairs, wrote late Friday.
