Waukegan 287(g) at least 2 years away – Illinois
Tagged: 287(g), Chicago, deportation, Illinois, policePosted on: August 23rd, 2007“The federal government promptly acknowledged the city’s application for authority to enforce immigration laws, but a decision granting that authority probably wont be so prompt.
On Monday, the Police Department informed the City Council that the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency sent a letter confirming that ICE had received the city’s application certification as a local government with 287g Immigration Act authority. That provision allows trained local law enforcement officers to identify and detain immigrant criminals and directly process them for deportation.”
