Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has ended his department’s 287(g) agreement with Bristol County, Massachusetts. The program trained county law-enforcement personnel how to identify illegal-alien criminals and helped Immigration and Customs Enforcement deport them.

An open-borders subversive born in Red Cuba, Mayorkas acted three months to the day after a letter from Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and other leftist elected officials suggested the move.

Result: Bristol County cops will identify fewer illegal-alien rapists and murderers.

That means fewer violent predators will be deported. So Mayorkas, Warren, and the rest of the subversive gang now running the country will be directly responsible for the crimes these offenders commit.

Free the Criminals

Reporting the news yesterday, Jon Feere of the Center for Immigration Studies disclosed just how important the 287(g) program is to protect Americans from illegal-alien thugs.

“In fiscal year 2020, state and local law enforcement trained under 287(g) encountered approximately 920 aliens convicted for assault, 1,261 convicted for dangerous drugs, 104 convicted for sex offenses/assaults, 377 convicted for obstructing police, 190 convicted for weapon offenses, and 37 convicted for homicide, to name a few crimes,” he reported.

And “as of May 2021, ICE has 287(g) agreements with 71 law enforcement agencies in 21 states. ICE has an additional 76 agreements in 11 states based on a more narrowly-focused version of the program.”

That was irrelevant to Senator Warren and her pals. They were more concerned that the Bristol County sheriff’s deputies roughed up the aggressors in detention.

More concerned about the thugs than the crimes the they committed — and what the thugs would have done to Americans if left on the street — the Warren cohort demanded that Mayorkas cancel the program:

On May 1, 2020, there was a violent altercation between Sheriff’s Office personnel and detainees. The incident followed detainees’ expression of concerns about contracting COVID-19 in the facility.

The Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office conducted an investigation of the May 1 incident and made a number of concerning findings including that the Bristol County Sheriff’s Office “violated the civil rights of the detainees on May 1 by using excessive force against the ICE B detainees.…

The Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office recommended that “DHS should terminate its IGSA and 287(g) agreement with the” Bristol County Sheriff’s Office. We agree, and we ask you to implement this recommendation without delay.

Mayorkas readily complied. He ordered his deputies to stop using the detention center in question, “including by terminating both the 287(g) agreement that is no longer operationally needed and the Intergovernmental Services Agreement with the Bristol County Sheriff’s Office.”

Just Who Was Arrested?

The claim that 287(g) is “no longer operationally needed” is false, as Feere showed with a list of the illegal-alien thugs the county sheriff’s department collared between November 2019 and January 2021. ICE placed detainers on all:

In his mandate to underlings, Mayorkas, a visa fraudster who landed in hot water during his turn with the Obama administration, wrote that “we will not tolerate the mistreatment of individuals in civil immigration detention or substandard conditions of detention.”

One might suspect that Mayorkas, Warren, and her cosigners will tolerate the rape and murder of Americans in Bristol.
