David Howard King in The Alt reports that the Albany and Rensselaer County Sheriff’s offices both applied to be part of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement program that would have local sheriff's officers trained and authorized to detain suspected illegal immigrants. But Albany Sheriff Craig Apple has since pulled his application. “All I knew when we filed was that we were concerned with the detention portion of it,” Apple told The Alt. “I guess they can deputize officers but the detention portion is what got us interested. We have bunch of pens, cells where we would house arrestees. We were looking to house more because we have openings and everyone we house from outside would pay $119 a day. I thought, ‘It sounds great, it offsets costs in-house,’ but we had people concerned with the deputization portion, and I get it.” The program is part of an executive order from President Donald Trump issued earlier this year to create more partnerships under the 287(g) program. The Rensselaer County Sheriff’s application to help round up people in the country who are not legally allowed to be in the U.S. is still pending. Read the full story in The Alt.
