Provision 287(g)

Apparently Judge (I use the term lightly) Bolton was not aware of 287(g).  A lot of people aren't.

Want to know more?  Read this:
Provision 287(g)

The 287(g) program, one of ICE’s top partnership initiatives, allows a state and local law enforcement entity to enter into a partnership with ICE, under a joint Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), in order to receive delegated authority for immigration enforcement within their jurisdictions.


287(g) Results and Participating Entities


Currently ICE has 287(g) agreements with 71 law enforcement agencies in 26 states. Since January 2006, the 287(g) program is credited with identifying more than 160,000 potentially removable aliens – mostly at local jails. ICE has trained and certified more than 1,130 state and local officers to enforce immigration law.

This is interesting information.  I'm guessing that yesterday's ruling by Bolton null and voids this authority for Arizona agencies granted to them by ICE! 
Here is the actual MOA for the Maricopa Sheriff Department.  The gives them specific rights with regard to enforcing immigration laws.
