“Direct ICE to stop ignoring criminal aliens identified through the 287(g) program.”
Citation: Project 2025, Section 2.2: Department of Homeland Security, Ken Cuccinelli, page 173, paragraph 2
Context:
ICE doesn’t “ignore” criminals identified by the 287(g) program, which is a collaboration between Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and state and local law enforcement agencies that allows local officials to act as immigration agents. They DO prioritize removing individuals who pose the greatest threat to public safety, based on factors like the severity of their crimes. Moreover, the 287(g) program itself is a civil liberties nightmare with well-documented abuses.
