Committee member cites Loudoun County data to argue ICE failed to pick up many detainers
Summary
The speaker noted testimony that ICE failed to respond to multiple detainer notifications and highlighted Loudoun County figures—419 detainers issued and 253 pickups—arguing that many detainers go unfulfilled.
A Committee member recounted testimony from law-enforcement officials that ICE failed to pick up detainees in some cases, saying that in one sheriff's office notification sequence ICE did not respond in two of eight cases. "Despite its gargantuan budget, ICE completely failed to respond in 2 of those 8 cases or 25% resulting in 2 felony offenders being released into the community," the committee member said.
The lawmaker also cited Loudoun County figures, stating that ICE issued detainers for 419 people but picked up only 253, leaving 166 without pickup. The committee member used those numbers to argue that ICE is failing to carry out its responsibilities even after receiving substantial federal funding.
