News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

ICE to train Maricopa County sheriff’s deputies to enforce immigration law

ICE and Sheriff’s Office sign agreement to work together to combat illegal immigration

PHOENIX - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) have signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) allowing deputies to perform immigration law enforcement functions as permitted by Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

A total of 160 officers from the MCSO will join the growing list of state and local agencies receiving immigration training and authority under the supervision of sworn ICE officers. The cross-designation is a benefit to both ICE and local law enforcement agencies by helping to restore integrity to the nation's immigration system.
