In Massachusetts, a legal debate is heating up as some law enforcement officials argue that the state’s policy on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers poses a risk to public safety.
Worcester County Sheriff Lew Evangelidis expressed to Newsweek that Massachusetts policies allowing law enforcement and courts to disregard ICE detainers enable individuals accused of violent crimes to remain in the community. And it puts residents at risk.
Sheriff Evangelidis contends that the state has become a “magnet” for individuals crossing the southern border due to its support services and sanctuary policies.

ICE Detainers
ICE issues detainers when they seek custody of a person who has violated immigration laws after committing an additional crime. These detainers allow local authorities to hold the individual beyond their scheduled release so ICE can take custody.
