The following explanatory comments were offered by respondents listed in this table. The respondents did not necessarily offer an explanation for each negative answer.
(1) If law enforcement officers from your jurisdiction arrest an individual on state or local charges, do they generally ask the subject about his or her immigration status?
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “Generally, if an individual does not appear to be foreign they will not be asked. Now if an individual has no proper identification and it is apparent that they may be foreign then they will ask.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “Not everyone arrested would prompt an arresting officer to inquire about a person's immigration status. It is unknown as to how many times a day an arresting officer would have cause to ask an arrestee about their immigration status.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED]a – “The [SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] does not generally ask immigration status. We may if need be, but not generally.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “There is no local ordinance or regulation from the County's Board of Supervisors authorizing the Department of Correction to ask arrestees about their immigration status.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “It is not the Police Department's policy to ask, however, some officers ask voluntarily. It is not the Police Department's policy to take proactive enforcement action against undocumented aliens. However, if an encounter with an undocumented alien yields a wanted status for an immigration violation listed by another agency, the Police Dept. will confirm extradition before arrest.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “Since [SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] is a home rule city the Sheriff Dept doesn't ‘arrest’ persons as part of our normal duties. When persons are brought to us or we take someone into our custody we do ask for place of birth. Anyone who self reports as being born outside the USA is forwarded to ICE.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “No means they don't generally ask, since their immigration status has no bearing on the local charge. Additionally, if they did ask and the defendant said he was illegal, who would we tell?”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “Not unless there is a reason to believe there would be an issue with the status.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “Not Applicable.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “We complete an NCIC check on all arrestees, and we report those with a history of deportation.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “Ask where born but don't check immigration status.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “Generally no, unless there is reason to believe individual has been involved in certain criminal activities such as: arrested for, or has been convicted of a felony, violent crime, etc.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “Deputies working patrol within [SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] do not generally ask arrestees their immigration status.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “Immigration status is determined during the Booking process.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “Only if the investigation points to the fact that the individual(s) may be an undocumented alien.”
(2) If law enforcement officers from your jurisdiction have reason to believe that someone they arrest may be an undocumented alien, do they generally inform ICE that the individual is in their custody?
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “Notification may occur in felony offenses, but not usually for minor offenses.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “From my experience it is difficult to contact these agencies.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “Unknown. However, the [SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] Custody Division is implementing an automated inquiry and notification process for consular notifications as part of the booking process.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “ICE agents come into our facility on a regular basis and review our records of undocumented aliens.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “There is no policy or local regulation from the County's Board of Supervisors that allows Department of Correction officers to inform ICE that an individual is in custody.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “This is a Sheriff's [Department] function.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “Our experience has shown that ICE is not going to respond anyway.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “Not Applicable.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “All arrestees in [SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] are brought to the [SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] County Jail; this is when the NCIC [check] is done.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “Depends on nature of crime.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “Law enforcement officers may contact ICE but jail staff do not. We have an ICE employee that regularly reviews inmate rosters.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “No, unless certain conditions are met such as: if individual is reasonably suspected of participating in certain criminal activity, arrested for using a firearm during commission of a crime, involvement in violent crime. Etc.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “Deputies working patrol within [SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] do not generally inform the DHS/ICE that the individual they have in custody may be undocumented. However, on occasion deputies will advise the 287(g) Officers of the undocumented arrestee.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “Past history has shown that they will rarely pick the subjects up for transport.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “Sheriff's Deputies do not inform ICE. Detention staff will notify ICE if information obtained from a criminal history rap sheet or information obtained from our local database alerts [this] Department of previous contacts with ICE (releases to ICE or previously deported criminal alien).”
(3) Do the detention facilities in your jurisdiction generally accept detainers from ICE for undocumented criminal aliens in their custody?
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “ICE does not bring people (inmates) to our facility.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “The [SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] has a contract to have ICE inmates.”
(4) Do the detention facilities in your jurisdiction generally alert ICE prior to releasing any undocumented criminal aliens in their custody?
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “[No.] Unless ICE asks us to.”
[SENSITIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] – “In most cases we are unaware of status.”
