Prior to the Obama Administration and its practice of selective
lawlessness, we had this description of the 287g program, by ICE, itself :
U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the largest investigative agency in
the Department of Homeland Security, enforces federal immigration laws as part
of its homeland security mission. ICE works closely with federal, state and
local law enforcement partners in this mission.
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). The state or local entity receives delegated authority
for immigration enforcement within their jurisdictions.
As of
mid-day, June 25, the above description and the Federal/States partnership it represents - since
1996 – is being taken down, at least as it regards the State of Arizona.
We have this report in the Washington Times:
The Obama administration said
Monday [June 25] it is suspending
existing agreements with Arizona police over
enforcement of federal immigration laws, and said it
has issued a directive telling federal authorities to decline many of the calls
reporting illegal immigrants that the Homeland
Security Department may get from Arizona police.
Administration officials, speaking on condition they not be named [they are afraid
of the very people they serve in the Obama Administration] , told
reporters they expect to see an increase in the number of calls they get
from Arizona
police — but that won’t change President Obama’s decision to limit
whom the government actually tries to detain and deport. “We will
not be issuing detainers on individuals unless they clearly meet our defined
priorities,” one official said in a telephone briefing.
I have included the map, above, to document the
relative enormity of the the 287g program. Today, because
of the malfeasance of the High Court and the anarchy of the Obama
Administration, Obama has decided to strike back at the State of
Arizona, to punish the state, if you will,
for its opposition to the innate lawless of his
As a sidebar, that which seems to be hoot, in all this, the arrogant opinion of Obama with regard to the approval of Section 2B by the High Court. He disagrees with the Court's finding of constitutionality as regards this section of the Arizona law. What proves Obama to be arrogant and ignorant as to the US Constitution, is the fact that all presiding members of the Court including Sotomayor, approve of the Arizona law at this point without exception. There vote of approval was 8 - 0. Understand that Section 2B provides for the partnership with the Federal government that Obama is now refusing to honor.
