Homeland Security: Miami-Dade and Sanctuary Places

homeland security: Trump seemed to approve of Miami-Dade's decision, saying in a tweet late Thursday Miami-Dade Mayor drops sanctuary policy, according to Metro News. Right decision. Mayor Carlos Gimenez sent a memo to the county's corrections director saying jails should hold undocumented immigrants detained by police and turn them over to the Department of Homeland Security when requested. Strong! Before Thursday, Miami-Dade only held detainees if federal immigrations officials agreed to reimburse the county for the detention costs. Miami-Dade turned over about 180 people to immigration officials in 2016 but was not reimbursed for any costs. The condition set in 2013 put the county in a Department of Justice report that listed sanctuary places that refused to comply with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
