ICE issues detainers on illegal immigrants arrested on criminal charges, but some jurisdictions do not honor those detainers as policy, calling themselves "sanctuaries."
Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
But sanctuary jurisdictions generally do not honor detainers, sometimes arguing that it is not their responsibility and that doing so has a chilling effect on relations between immigrants and the community. He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.
"When law enforcement agencies fail to honor immigration detainers and release serious criminal offenders onto the streets, it undermines ICE’s ability to protect public safety and carry out its mission," ICE’s website warns.
