Quote:The deputy director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Monday slammed a Democratic proposal to limit the number of beds at immigration detention centers, calling the idea “extremely damaging to public safety.”

The remarks by ICE Deputy Director Matt Albence came as bipartisan compromise talks on funding for President Trump's proposed border wall have completely broken down and just days before another government shutdown is set to begin.

“If we are forced to live with a cap, we will be forced to release criminal aliens in our custody.” Albence said on Monday. “We will be limited in our ability to respond to state and local law enforcement agencies making arrests for these crimes.”

Democrats have proposed a cap on the number of available beds in ICE detention centers with the goal of forcing the Trump administration to prioritize arresting and deporting only violent criminals and dangerous offenders.

“We prioritize our limited resources to the best of our ability, but putting an artificial cap on the ability to detain individuals who pose threats will lead to disastrous results,” Albence said.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell joined Albence in criticizing the Democrats' proposal, saying the plan is “not based on reality” and that Democrats have come up with “an arbitrary number that a couple of lawmakers pulled out of thin air.”

There needs to be tent cities on the border. Maybe 100,000 beds, and immigration judges inside issuing deportation orders.

The sheriffs said the same thing.

I'm glad the Dems said they would listen to immigration officials regarding what would be best.
