(Breitbart) – Donald
Trump is being given credit for a new L.A. County policy that lets federal
agents “interview [jail] inmates who have committed serious crimes” to gauge if
they need to be deported.
“It appears the ‘Trump
Effect’ is now having an impact on Los Angeles County policy,” complained Pablo
Alvarado, a spokesman for the pro-migrant National Day Laborer Organizing
Network.
GOP presidential hopeful
Trump has surged to the top of national polls by campaigning for the
construction of a wall on the southern border, an end to illegal immigration,
and the capture and deportation of dangerous illegals.
The county’s popular
pro-American shift, announced Sept 22, came amid public anger after five-time
illegal migrant Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez allegedly shot and killed Kathryn
Steinle on Pier 14 in San Francisco. “The [new] policy appears
politically motivated and impacted by sensationalized tragedy,” Alvarado
complained.
Prior to this shift,
county officials had imposed rules that stopped federal agents from checking
jailhouses for illegal migrants.
Alvarado also said
immigration enforcement is bad policy. The policy shift entangles “local
criminal law enforcement with the enforcement of outdated, unjust civil
immigration laws,” he said.
However, it is not
clear if the federal enforcement agency will use their recovered opportunity to
repatriate foreign migrants. For several years, President Barack Obama and his
deputies have sharply reduced enforcement of immigration law within the United
States, and have actually released more than 30,000 foreign criminals back into
Americans’ streets.
According to the Los
Angeles Times, the new policy requires jail officials to “notify ICE
up to seven days before those inmates are being released so immigration agents
can pick them up and initiate deportation proceedings.
