GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. Gwinnett County s new sheriff, Keybo Taylor, announced on his first day in office, that he ended the jail s participation in the 287(g) program. That s a promise he made throughout his campaign.
The program was implemented back in 2009 by now-former Sheriff Butch Conway. It s a partnership with the federal Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that allows deputies to screen people coming into jail to figure out their legal status. If they re in the country illegally, the inmate could eventually be deported by immigration authorities.
Keybo Taylor, Gwinnett County s new sheriff, has ended the county jail s 287(g) program on his first day on the job, according to a report from CBS46.
The program, which was implemented in 2009 in the county, allows deputies who were trained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to interview people that have been arrested who were not born in the United States, according to the report from CBS46. The deputies were then allowed to determine if the person was in the country legally.
According to a document on the Gwinnett County Sheriff s Office website, the daily jail population began decreasing after the program was implemented. ICE also covers the cost of training, as well as travel, housing, meals and administrative supplies during training, according to the document.
https://www.hangthecensors.com/483277.html (Natural News) ATLANTA County sheriffs in Georgia publicly condemned Democrat plans for police reform Tuesday after President-elect Joe Biden told a group of civil rights leaders to avoid discussing police reform until after Georgia’s January 5 Senate runoff election.

The sheriffs indicated that the “defund the police” movement is central to Democrat plans for police reform. They warned that if Democrat candidates Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock win their runoff races, Republicans will lose their Senate majority and police will thereby lose their last line of defense for funding.

DALLAS, Georgia Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) told Breitbart News on his campaign bus that Georgia Senate Democrat candidates Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock as well President-elect Joe Biden are “hiding their true platform” on defunding the police and amnesty for illegal aliens, which he said would make suburban families and Georgians less safe.
Perdue spoke to Breitbart News as a conversation between Biden and civil rights leaders leaked, during which Biden urged civil rights leaders to think about whether they would want to discuss police reform before the January 5 Georgia runoffs, as it might lead to Democrats being labeled as pro-defund the police. However, Biden did promise that he would guarantee a “full-blown commission” to address police reform.
