SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department will share records of people who were criminally arrested with immigration authorities, becoming the first local law enforcement agency in five states to comply with unusual demands for information, authorities said Friday.

In recent weeks, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has issued ‘administrative subpoenas’ — signed by an immigration official, not a judge — to state and local law enforcement agencies in Colorado, Connecticut, New York, Oregon and California.

Sheriff Bill Gore’s announcement, in a statement from his department late Thursday, came less than a week after ICE issued four subpoenas, the only ones so far in California. The agency is the first in all five states to comply with the requests, ICE spokeswoman Lauren Mack said.

The demands for information are among several recent moves by the Trump administration against what it considers “sanctuary” jurisdictions, which adopt laws and policies to limit cooperation with immigration authorities.

1. If this is for undocumented immigrants who have committed violent crimes,

I don't have a problem with this. The problem I have is that the fascists want to use this to leverage info for non-violent immigrants and to intimidate them. Inevitably this is going to be abused by the f**k and his SS boys.

The cops shouldn't be sharing anything but the violent offenders info.

2. San Diego is very conservative . . .

[not fooled]

3. And it's San Diego "County"

not the city, which is a lot less conservative.

SD County contains many rural areas heavily populated by maggots.

Horn got elected by them.

I don't call parts of the county (where I used to live) SanDiegoTucky for nothing.

4. The sheriffs are very Nazi-esque!

I have seen them stand silent as Proud Boys tried to instigate violence at peaceful demonstrations and anti-tRump protests.
