ICE RELEASES ILLEGAL ALIENS TO NEW MEXICO STREETS QUICKLY

ARRESTED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS RELEASED BACK ONTO NEW MEXICO STREETS
 

Santa Fe police are discovering that illegal immigrants arrested on a variety of charges keep turning up time and time again on the streets of Sante Fe, New Mexico, despite U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement placing detainers on them. Police are frustrated that they keep arresting the same criminals over and over when it’s supposed to be prevented. Lt. Louis Carlos of the Santa Fe Police Department said, “Somebody’s dropping the ball” when it comes to honoring or enforcing immigration detainers.

Jail director Annabelle Romero said they honor the detainers, follow the proper procedure, and ICE officials show up almost daily to pick up the accused illegal immigrants. Romero believes the problem lies with other jurisdictions or other parameters because sometimes Santa Fe police bring inmates with immigration detainers to other county jails to make sure ICE can take custody of them.
