Gwinnett sheriff-elect says helping ICE locate illegal aliens who are already captured is waste of money – will end 287(g)

“What are we actually doing to keep Gwinnett County safe?” he asked rhetorically.

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – Gwinnett County’s new sheriff plans two huge changes the first day he takes office in January.

Both involve controversial ways in which inmates are treated at the jail.

Democrat Keybo Taylor won the seat left open with the retirement of longtime Republican sheriff Butch Conway.

It was Conway who joined the 287(g) program in 2010. It allowed deputies to serve as federal immigration officers, screening all prisoners who come into the jail to determine their legal status.

If a prisoner is in the country illegally, they are detained until immigration authorities can transfer the inmate into federal custody and ultimately for deportation.

Conway has long championed the program as a way to keep the county safe and save taxpayer money because those prisoners are housed for a shorter amount of time at the jail.

But Taylor believes the program actually wastes money.

“The program was originally to deport violent criminals,” he said. “When you go in and look at the percentage of people that are in that jail now that is in there on ICE detainers, they are non-violent offenders.”

He said when he takes office in January, he will remove Gwinnett County from the 287(g) program and put those deputies into a beefed-up anti-gang unit. Taylor believes that’s the real source of violence in Gwinnett.

“What are we actually doing to keep Gwinnett County safe?” he asked rhetorically.

But some critics fear what will come next in Gwinnett if the 287(g) program is scrapped.

“I make this very sad prediction,” said DA King, an anti-illegal immigration lobbyist who supported Gwinnett’s arrangement with the 287(g) program.

“There are going to be people killed in Gwinnett County by people in the country illegally who were passed over by the enforcement of — or lack thereof — of this incoming sheriff,” said King.
