Quote:For local sheriffs who have long talked tough on immigration, their time has come.

Trump’s transition team is already pursuing new spaces they can repurpose into short-term detention centers near large, Democratic-run cities where most immigrants in the country illegally live. It is also weighing a broad mix of changes to give sheriffs more power, with rewards for jurisdictions that cooperate, and financial retribution against those in blue states and cities that hold out, according to people involved in the planning.

To leverage legions of deputies, the Trump’s team is aiming for a “historic” expansion of a federal program that gives sheriffs and other agencies certain ICE powers, said one person involved in transition planning. Under that program, known as 287(g) after the section of law that created it, the team aims to revive a dormant and controversial “task force model,” which until 2012 allowed officers from participating local agencies, during their routine duties, to question and arrest suspected noncitizens in the community on immigration violations.

Under one plan being considered, billions of federal dollars that currently reimburse nonprofits and cities for helping newly arrived migrants at the border would be redirected to local law-enforcement agencies that turn immigrants over to ICE, people involved in the planning said.

The rotten apples will naturally gravitate away from places where local LEO are known to be cooperative with Trump, and towards the kind of places where local LEO is basically Tim Walz with a badge. So, even before the deportations begin, the progress has already started.

This is a beautiful idea. Something that irks me to the end is watching these organizations which rely on government assistance always putting down efforts to keep illegals out of the US. It seems they work for Mexico instead of our country. Screw those socialists, let them rely on local citizenry and see how much money they'll get. Probably pittance compared to what the Feds give them. Most of the social workers aiding the illegals are new US immigrants themselves and you can tell by their accents.

They use the Bible as basis for helping the illegals but there is also a verse that tells us to obey the laws and illegals and aiders, and the church, are ignoring that.
