Abstract:

In the article the author is discussing how the Immigration and Customs Enforcement wants local jails to help detain and hold undocumented individuals even when they do not have any charges. The author states that Durham’s local sheriff’s office is complying with this request from ICE. Even though the Durham County Detention Facility does not work directly with ICE it has been reported that fifty-seven people were taken into ICE custody on detainer request from the sheriff’s office. In 2016 it was forty-nine and in 2015 it was thirty-two.
