Trump Administration demanding that sheriffs keep undocumented immigrants in jail longer than legally allowed in order to allow time for deportation.

Courtesy of The Daily Beast:  

President Donald Trump’s crackdown on undocumented immigrants has some sheriffs worried the White House is pushing them to break the law – demanding they violate the Fourth Amendment or face vilification from the commander-in-chief. 

“It’s a total mess,” said Bob Gualtieri, the sheriff of Pinellas County, Fla. 

At issue is a complicated question: Should sheriffs keep undocumented immigrants in their jails for more time than otherwise necessary so that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers can pick them up to be deported? 

The White House is demanding sheriffs do just that, by honoring ICE’s requests that sheriffs keep certain people locked up long enough for the agency to take them into custody. Those requests are called detainers. And many sheriffs would happily comply – except that federal courts have ruled repeatedly that the Fourth Amendment bars them from keeping an undocumented immigrant in jail who would otherwise go free. 

“If we violate the law by doing what they ask us to do, we’re subjecting ourselves, no question, to civil liability and civil rights violations,” Gualtieri said.

Galtieri goes on to say that he contacted the head White Nationalist at the White House, now that Steve Bannon's gone,  Stephen Miller and he did not seem to have any real understanding of the law.

Least surprising part of this whole article. 

So to be clear the White House is pushing local sheriffs to break the law so that they can tear apart families and send people who may only have had a minor legal infraction back over the border.

However in the meantime Donald Trump wants to forgive Nazis who beat people with clubs because "they had a permit."

Oh yeah, that's the kind of country I want to live in.

    Where is Dakota Meyer? Isn't he going to help with the trafficking problem? It's been a year. He can't wait to #ownthedash
    Is that when he is going to reveal his work and the videos he made?

    1. What jury? That is one jury I want to serve on. Because I vote he is mentally unstable and unfit to fulfill his duties as president of the United States.

      Dakota currently seems to be trying to sell physical fitness. That trafficking charity turned out to be a big, fat nothing. Maybe they paid him a few bucks to solicit donations and that was that.

    Maybe the ACLU could look into this now that they are no longer defending Nazis. Trump must think all sheriffs are like Sheriff Joe from Arizona who he is probably going to pardon next week, willing to subvert the rights of brown people without breaking a sweat.

      Personally, I think they see it as a win-win: More deportations and as a bonus, the longer they're held, the more tax dollars go into the pockets of the for-profit prison industry.

    Trump is a lying sociopathic racist sex predator pig who doesn't give a shit about anything except money, fame, and people worshiping the Donald God.

    Since he's now President, he can't get away with groping Hope Hicks or boinking interns any more, so he's frustrated, angry, and obviously out of his depths.

    I sincerely hope that Mueller will come up with an IronCLAD case of financial fraud and money laundering regarding Don's Russian buddies.

    The court case against him should ideally happen DURING THE 2018 elections so we might possibly get a Democratically controlled Senate for his last 2 years.

    Best case for electing a Dem in 2020 is for the disgusting Orange Pig to still be in office, as that will keep his traitorous conduct in the headlines, and keep Pence from pushing his Christian Taliban bullshit on the USA

    When Bannon made an exit he stated what everyone worked for is DEAD. There is no more Trump administration as they knew. He has a point.
    ( https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DHjtM4vUIAAAIcX.jpg:large ) The opposite, the globalists are winning, but Bannon still has his power and he will work to support Trump doing the Bannon agenda, something like that. Bannon agenda like scorched earth, destroy everything of the old, it will be the greatest to live in the new Bannow world that Trump can give us.
    USA to Trump World.

    . Build the border wall and eventually make Mexico...
