Sheriff Earnell Lucas said his decision to not provide information to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents unless a judge issued a warrant was meant to help regain trust in the immigrant community and avoid costly litigation.
Milwaukee County Sheriff Earnell Lucas, left, has changed some policies of the former sheriff, David Clarke, who was a strong supporter of President Trump.
Such tactics by federal authorities have become commonplace during the Trump administration when local law enforcement agencies have decided to stop collaborating with immigration agents. “ICE will now have no choice but to conduct more at-large arrests in local neighborhoods and at work sites, which will inevitably result in additional collateral arrests instead of arrests at the jail where enforcement is safer for everyone involved,” Gallagher said.
Clarke, an outspoken supporter of President Trump and a conservative media favorite, fully cooperated with ICE and sought plans to pursue an agreement that would allow some jail employees to act as de facto immigration agents in order to assess whether inmates convicted of crimes were in the country illegally.
In November 2017, the Department of Homeland Security rejected an application that would have approved the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Department to participate in the 287 program after an outcry from the community.
