www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Gwinnett County Commissioner Marlene Fosque will hold a “community engagement discussion” about the 287(g) program, which gives the sheriff’s office certain powers of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities.
The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office re-authorized their participation in the program in May, and Sheriff Butch Conway has praised the program as a tool to reduce and prevent crime. Participating agencies, including the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office, can check jail inmates’ immigration status and and ensure those who should be held for federal authorities are. Local charges and sentences must be addressed before an inmate is taken into federal custody.
