Just because someone has a rap sheet doesn't mean that the state can just keep you in jail for as long as they want. - albaby

The criminal illegal already as an established record, a rap sheet sometimes lengthy, of serious crimes already committed and where convictions are on record. He is deportable based on past felonies regardless of whatever crime got him arrested this time. I realize the locals are not compelled to help but why would they release such a dangerous person, one who has no right to be in the USA in the first place, back into the community when ICE is perfectly willing to take them off your hands and out of the community.

They are not keeping the alien felon in their jail for as long as they want, why exaggerate? ICE has the authority to detain him even if the state does not. So why would the mayor prefer to release a convicted multi pedophile to roam his community, when even the slightest bit of cooperation would get him off the streets and into an ICE detention center.
