(The Center Square) – Georgia Governor Brian Kemp wants to enforce state soldiers who are trained by US immigration and customs authorities that enforce immigration laws on Monday.
The 1,100 leaders who work under the Ministry of Public Security would receive the training from the 287 (G) program, the governor said in a press release.
The program enables local governments to work with ICE. The Georgia Department of Correction participates in the prison enforcement model, which enables local law enforcement officers to illegally identify people in the country and hand them over to immigration procedures in ice. A Sergeant and three correction office is assigned to the current program, and ICE made an inquiry for two more officials, said Kemp.
According to the publication, around 1,730 inmates that are imprisoned via the correction department have ice -experiences.
According to the 287 (G) program for several years, five local sheriff offices have taken part Ice website.
President Donald Trump asked for partnerships in the state in an executive regulation issued on his first day. Since the executive regulation, six other law enforcement agencies have applied in Georgia. According to ICE, three offices of the district sheriff, Montgomery, Murray and Spalding, have pending applications.
The department for public security would train according to the Task Force model, which “serves as a power multiplier for state and local law enforcement authorities in order to enforce the limited immigration authority with ice surveillance during its routine police tasks,” said the ICE website.
“If you are illegally in our country and commit crimes, you have no place in Georgia,” said Kemp. “This is another measure for common sense that we have taken since I took office for the first time in order to further enable the hardworking law enforcement authorities to identify and promote illegal foreigners that pose a risk of public security.”
The request for ice cream was sent by Colonel Billy Hitchens, who monitors the public security department.
“This training and cooperation between agencies increases our ability to protect our communities,” said Hitchens. “The identification of those who are a threat and which are not legally in our country through education and interagency communication enables us to serve our citizens at the best of our goal.”

The Senate passed a legislative template that would remove the sovereign immunity from Georgian elected officials, adopted the cities and at the back. It is currently on the house committee for public security and home protection authorities.
