Clayton County prison (Fuchs 5)
ATLANTA – – Prison attendants in Georgia must now check the immigration status of inmates and apply in order to enforce the federal immigration law according to a legislative template that had glued to the police after the police had accused a Venezuelan man to death a nursing student on the University of Georgia.
Governor Brian Kemp signed the law on Wednesday at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center in Forsyth. Most of the provisions become effective immediately.
The Republican governor signed a separate law that demands a deposit of cash for 30 additional crimes and which people and non -profit deposit restrict money for more than three people a year, unless he meets the requirements for a deposit bond company. This law comes into force on July 1.
Kemp said on Wednesday that the Immigration Act, House Bill 1105, “after the senseless death of sheets of Riley by someone in this country who had already been arrested, became one of our top priorities even after crossing the border.
Immigration laws adopt the Senate of Georgia
A controversial immigration law on Thursday, the father of a university attendant murdered in Athens, said goodbye to the Senate in Georgia, who spoke to the chamber. The investigators say that the man who killed her was illegally in the country. What the invoice requires.
Jose Ibarra was arrested for murder and charges for the death of the 22-year-old Riley sheet. The immigration authorities say that the 26 -year -old Ibarra was illegal to the United States in 2022. It is unclear whether he applied for asylum. Riley's killing triggered a political storm when the conservatives used the case to blame President Joe Biden for immigration failure.
“If you illegally enter our country and commit other crimes in our communities, we will not allow your crimes to remain unanswered,” said Kemp.
The opponents warn that the law will transform local law enforcement into the immigration police, which is less willing to report crime and work with civil servants. Opponents also refer to studies that show that immigrants are less likely than local Americans who commit crimes.
The law contains specific requirements for how prison officers should think about US immigration and customs authorities (ICE) to determine whether the prisoners are known for being illegal in the country. Georgia's law has previously encouraged prisons, but the new law makes it an offense to “knowingly and deliberately” checked immigration status. The legislation would also refuse to finance state funding for local governments.
The law also stipulates that local prisons apply for a so -called 287 (G) ver contract with ICE to enable local prison attendants to enforce the Immigration Act. It is unclear how many would be accepted because the administration of President Joe Biden devastated the program. The program does not enable local law enforcement authorities to make immigration -specific arrests outside of a prison.
The Republicans said that the Senate Bill 63, who requires a deposit of cash, is required to keep criminals closed, although they undermine changes that the Republican governor Nathan -Deal hired in 2018 to enable the judges to be accused of most people without a deposit.
“Too often we saw some of our cities or counties, it was a rotating door with criminals,” said Republican Lt. GOV. Burt Jones.
Followers said that the judges still had the discretion of determining very low deposits. A separate part of the 2018 reform, in which the judges are obliged to take into account the solvency of a person, would remain legitimate.
But the move could argue in prison if they are accused of crimes for whom they will probably ever go to prison and make the overcrowding in Georgia in County Lockups worse.
It is part of a push of the Republicans nationwide to increase trust in the deposit of cash, even if some democratically guided jurisdiction limits the cash deposit completely or dramatically. This division was illustrated last year when a court was to abolish the bail of Illinois, while the voters in Wisconsin approved a change in the constitution in which the judges were able to take into account the past convictions of a person due to violent crimes before the deposit.
