ATLANTA - Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms on Thursday signed an executive order calling for all remaining U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees to be transferred out of the city jail as soon as possible and declaring that Atlanta will no longer hold anyone for the federal agency.

quote:

Atlanta will no longer be complicit in a policy that intentionally inflicts misery on a vulnerable population,” Bottoms said at a City Hall news conference moments before signing her executive order. “As the birthplace of the civil rights movement we are called to be better than this.”




I guess Atlanta is now a sanctuary city. Hope they are ready for all that comes along with it.

It's ridiculous, but this is happening in pretty much every major city and there were only like 5 of them left to begin with

Releasing criminals is a civil right?

Chances on them being carried and dropped in Buckhead?

As long as they're not white, this is correct

Why doesn’t she just let them out. Hell she could even offer them a place to stay while they get back on their feet.

She doesn't even know that Illegal Immigration isn't ICE's only function. They have been instrumental in stopping child sex trafficking. Which, Atlanta is one of the main hubs for. Great job Atlanta.

From what I have read, she didn't put Atlanta as a sanctuary city or stop any ICE operations here. She quit renting out our jail space for ICE detainees. So they will just be shipped elsewhere.

Pretty stupid move considering that ICE paid Atlanta a nice rental fee for that space. This is just a political show move that has no effect other than taking a stream of revenue away from our jails.

Why do we detain them at all? No documention? Immediate trip back across the border for you.

There were just five ICE detainees in the Atlanta City Detention Center as of Wednesday, down from 205 in June. The number has fallen as ICE has released some, deported others and transported some to its other detention centers across the state.


She's a big dummy but it's not like she unleashed the 2nd Mariel Boatlift or anything....

Despite Atlanta government being lefty and race-centric, it's par for the course (a lot of show but nothing too bold).

The Kasim line of folks is sensitive to business impact so Atlanta talks a big game but doesn't follow up with it. Hence you have Black Democrats in Atlanta going out to BLM rallies trying to keep them from becoming riots (and they're successful).

I'm not sure how long it'll last, but it's keeping Atlanta from getting too out of hand.

As a middle class tax payer, I had a lot of misery inflicted on me during Obama's reign. I was certainly vulnerable to a lot more misery if I didn't pay. I wonder if this clown would help a brother out of tax jam too.
