The Trump administration aims to lower its existing detention standards to encourage more U.S. sheriffs to provide jail space to detain immigrants in the U.S. illegally, Trump's border czar Tom Homan said on Saturday.
Homan said at an annual meeting of the National Sheriffs' Association in Washington, D.C., that the administration was working to allow U.S. sheriffs to detain migrants in their jails using their state-level standards instead of more rigorous U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) guidelines and to reduce the number of federal inspections.
ICE is funded to detain a daily average of 41,500 immigrants in fiscal year 2024 but the agency currently has about 40,000 detainees, according to the most recent statistics.
The Trump administration said this week that it would add 30,000 detention beds at a migrant camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and more at a military base in Aurora, Colorado.
Homan rallied sheriffs to provide jail space and called on them to join a program known as 287(g) that allows state and local law enforcement to increase collaboration with ICE.
"The sheriffs in the room, we need your bed space. We need your 287(g) agreements," he said. "We need that force multiplier."

This administration is so far beyond cartoonishly evil, and it’s only February

Now the red line will have 4 segments beneath it

So Americans… what is your line? What has to happen before you are in the streets?
Start figuring that out now otherwise, it will be a slow boil, and before you know it, the line will be crossed and it won’t phase you because of it’s slow and steady approach.
Familiarize yourself with the coordination problem as it will be used against you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordination_game
People will keep sitting on the sidelines while they feel hopeless and potentially have something to lose via reprisals. The more voices that say no, the more peoole will stand up, and say no with you. Thisnis why authoritarians stamp down on descent hard. They want to be in control of the coordination game. Take it from them. It is the fundemental reason why we have free speech in the first place.
