What do we know: How far can immigration staff go under new laws?
From enforcement orders for the citizenship of firstborn rights to the replacement of federal agents, how far can the laws of immigration go? Here’s what we know.
Question: Will police departments of Renault and sparks or the sheriff of Washoe County in the federal administration of migrant deportations help?
A brief answer: No, unless US immigration and customs or the federal government apply them for help.
Complete answer:
President Donald Trump has signed a number of executive orders last week for immigration, and the Ministry of Justice has promised to investigate state and local officials who interfere with the implementation process.
Approximately 184,000 Nevada residents are in the country without legal documentation, which is about 30% of the total population of state immigrants, according to the US Immigration Council.
The Vice President of Law and Policy of the National Immigration Center, Lisa Grebil, told the USA Today that the 10th amendment did not allow the federal government to force local and civil servants to use their resources for federal use. However, state and local employees can choose to cooperate.
- Sheriff’s Sheriff’s Office of Washo County
Washoe Cade Goodman sheriff spokesman told RGJ that the sheriff’s policy was not to intervene, as their only role was to help when there was concerns about public safety.
“Immigration is the responsibility of federal agencies,” says sheriff Darin Balaam in a statement. “If a specific request is made by ICE or other Federal Agency, we will provide maintenance services as required during their operations.”
According to the policy of the sheriff’s service, they should not question the immigration status of persons unless it is relevant to a crime or investigation, and the fact that a person suspects that it is not documented “is not the only basis for contact, detention or arrest. “
Renault Chris Johnson’s police spokesman said their policy is similar to that of the county, promising not to connect or stop a person “only suspicious that the person is present in the United States illegally.”
“The policy of Renault’s police department is to treat everyone in accordance with our basic values, regardless of the actual or perceived status of citizenship,” Johnson says in a statement to RGJ.
However, police in Renault also states that the department is allowed to assist ice with investigations when requested, with the approval of the police chief.
Spark Police spokesman Julie Duvevel told RGJ that Sparks had not received requests from the federal government to cooperate with the implementation of immigration. According to their website, the police in sparks have no official policy on immigration care.
