[quote=Anonymous]Multiple courts, including some federal appellate courts, have held that federal agencies like ICES cannot require local agencies to detain people just on the suspicion of not having entered the country illegally. That is not under their scope of jurisdiction.

[u]However[/u], they can do that if there is a judicial warrant to back it up. That makes it legal.

Here is an example of one such ruling, although you can google many more for yourself:

On Wednesday, a three-judge appellate court panel found this violated state law because the Suffolk police went beyond their authority. ICE detainers ask police to hold someone already in custody for 48 hours, to facilitate a transfer. By putting Francis back in jail, the court found Suffolk went too far. "[L]ocal law enforcement officers are not authorized to effectuate arrests for civil law immigration violations," the ruling said.

[b]The court found they could, however, if ICE showed them a warrant signed by a judge.[b]

[i.e., [u]it's not that getting into a sanctuary city means "nobody can touch them." It means that you have to follow the legal protocols to do so.[/u]]

The case was brought by the New York Civil Liberties Union, which says ICE issued about 800 detainer requests to the Nassau and Suffolk county sheriffs last year. Associate Legal Director Chris Dunn said the ruling set a precedent because it applies to all local police, statewide.
