One flag jumped up near the end when talking about people being bailed out, then arrested when released from the jail. The problem is, whoever signed that bail agreement, would be liable for the full amount once the ICE-detained and/or deported individual didn't show up to their next hearing. That could be family, loved ones etc. that may have put their house or other valuable assets up for collateral. Not sure if this is a possibility, but it seems like it could be a nightmare, especially if the individual's family got snared by ICE while trying to work out the issue with the courts.
[My assumption is, we can all agree nearly everything else you mentioned was already a huge red flag!]
I was writing a piece on this very topic before slipping on ice (frozen water kind) and had to put it on hold while I recover. I’m looking into the bills that have been proposed in our state legislature here in KY (3 so far). I’m encouraging people to look into their own state legislatures and start demanding an end to this collusion. It does not make anyone safer as we can see from Minneapolis. Thanks for this…even if you did steal my thunder. 😬
@sheriffspod breaks down the collaboration mechanisms: 287(g) agreements, $50 detainer payments, biometric database sharing. Each one is a policy choice by
local officials.
After Anthony Burns was marched through Boston in chains, abolitionists didn't just protest — they made collaboration legally unsustainable. Massachusetts
passed personal liberty laws. Local officials faced career consequences for cooperating. The federal Fugitive Slave Act stayed on the books, but no one would
enforce it.
No fugitive was ever returned from Boston again.
Every mechanism Pishko documents — the 287(g) agreements sheriffs sign, the BOAs that pay $50/head, the database sharing — exists because a local official chose it. Those choices can be unchosen.
The federal deportation machine requires local collaboration to function at scale. That's the vulnerability.
Excellent piece!

This is the playbook that worked in 1854.
