They are cities and counties (and in some instances, states) that have policies in place that limit cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

ICE also revealed that between Jan. 28 and Feb. 3, communities across the nation declined 206 of the agency’s detainers. None of those communities are in Georgia.

“At the end of the day, this is a public safety issue,” a senior ICE official told reporters on a conference call Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Clayton and DeKalb authorities had no immediate comment Monday. But in 2014, DeKalb Sheriff Jeffrey Mann pointed to federal court rulings that say jailing people based on ICE detainers can violate their constitutional rights.

“The law does not allow us to hold anyone without probable cause,” Mann said. “If our judicial system determines that an individual should no longer be held in custody, it is not in my authority to countermand that decision.”

That same year, Clayton Sheriff’s Maj. Robert Sowell said the agency would not “detain or extend the detention of any individual at the request of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement solely upon the issuance of an ICE detainer, unless ICE first presents (the sheriff’s office) with a judicially issued warrant authorizing such detention.”

Clayton officials have sent a letter to the Trump administration inquiring about their county’s status.

“We’re trying to get to the bottom of this,” Clayton Commission Chairman Jeff Turner said. “We can’t afford to lose any money.”
