Good, it turns out your guess was correct.

It wasn't a guess.

County officials never alert immigration to anything - ever since the NJ State Troopers profiling "scandal" law enforcement in this state has been forbidden to inquire about any perp's immigration status: the NJ Supreme Court considers it to be a violation of the perp's civil rights.

When the sherriff's office said "apparently" that immigration knew, I recognized that he was using "plausible deniability" language.

If they actually had informed immigration, the officer would have given an incident and a date that immigration had been contacted and completely passed the buck with a sigh of relief.

That he was incapable of doing so was telling.

And no, I am not surprised that one of our corrupt judges has extended bail to this classic example of a flight risk.

As you didn't source it when asked to, like I said good guess.

The Sheriff's office is apparently allowed to inquire into the immigration status of those in custody as they ran his social security number on Thursday after he was arrested, found out it was fake, then notified immigration.

I'm not surprised at any of it either though, NJ is a cesspool.
