Dozens of sheriffs around the country are refusing to detain noncitizens convicted of crimes for extra time to allow the federal government to start deportation proceedings after a court ruling that one immigrant's civil rights had been violated when she was held without probable cause.
"When a judge says something is in violation of the Fourth Amendment, I am not going to just keep doing it," Sheriff William Gore of San Diego told The New York Times. "If they want to take someone into federal custody, the can decide to do that, but I am not going to keep holding somebody because they ask me to, and nothing more than that."
But the local decisions could limit the how the government enforces immigration law while decreasing the numbers of people deported each year.
Sheriffs started refusing to honor the federal detainee policy that asks them to hold inmates for up to 48 hours without probable cause for a criminal violation after this spring's ruling by a federal judge in Oregon.
The refusal quickly spread, with noncitizen offenders getting released as soon as they have done their time, rather than being held for the Department of Homeland Security.
Many of the sheriffs in California, Minnesota, Kansas, and Washington, as well as Oregon, said the court decision forced their action in the interest of self-protection, rather than anything to do with their positions on immigration.
In June, California Attorney General Kamala Harris sent out an advisory telling law enforcement departments they could face lawsuits if they abide by the federal government's detainer requests.

‘Obama picks and chooses which laws he will enforce. So why can’t everyone else pick and choose what laws they will obey?’
He is the lawless one we were warned about. No longer any reason to support the Feds with your money or anything else. Cover them up with paperwork and work under the table if at all possible. Starve the beast.
Most of the locals are no better. Protest any rise in property taxes, protest common core, protest road blocks, protest anything you can think of. Any business local or otherwise who supported or still supports Zero and his policies refuse to spent your money with em, starve them out. Cut off any one you know who has an Zero sticker on their car, in general, shun them.
Let them know why. I dropped my barber last week after several years when his assistant let me know her side won. Screw em.
‘How about because your government will take everything you’ve worked for if you refuse.
That’s why having nothing to lose is a benefit.....’
Ever wonder why you get a tax break to buy and own a house? They want you locked in. I have owned a couple of homes but rent now and will never buy another. Thinking of a house boat, kinda hard to keep track of a moving target.
Ping.

Thanks, Nachum.

Naw, I’ll just dump my toilet. That would knock anyone off the trail.
