Perhaps if the sheriff would cooperate fully with I.C.E., illegal scumbags like this wouldn’t feel so safe living here. Maybe then our liberal judges will just focus on leniency for our homegrown scumbags.
Bingo!
The Fat Ass zinger Zoerner needs illegal pedofiles for job security to secure his plush retirement pension as a successful Democrat flipped Republican poseur to rhetoric the many Daft GOPe and Low Infos to vote him in so to screw to their hated Normal Public to the max along with the Kerkman Kook Duo and their Court Commissioner Cuckoos.
Wow! You said all of that in one sentence. You are the run on sentence King of Kenosha.
Jealous
exactly!
This case made the NewsNation “front page” of their Midwest news section. Getting more attention may make Zoerner hold this one for ICE. I still don’t understand how the cash bail is set so low ($10k) for any child porn violation, though. He’s got 10 right now.
Throw his ass in alligator Alcatraz, not in the jail but in the water surrounding it.
Another one Biden let in
Why can’t we just shoot these invaders?
If he posts bail, we’ll never see him again. He’ll move to another small US town and continue. It’s naive to give him bail.
Since I’ve lived in Kenosha county, the Sheriff department has been run by amateurs. The ONLY consolation about our Sheriff is that he’s a Republican.
RINO
you mean RINO.
He sure don’t act like it not working with ICE! I think he has always been a democrat, he only ran as a republican to get in office. He is such a disappointment, i regret voting for him!
Sheriff Z is a POS
Quarter this guy.
Not a problem for him. Our Sheriff will protect him from ICE. Maybe our county executive will get him some county benefits. We are sanctuary county!!! (?)
This is a common and difficult challenge, especially with local jails reducing the hold time. The Kenosha County Sheriff’s reported shift to a 24-hour hold is a result of legal challenges asserting that holding people beyond what is legally necessary for their state charges is unlawful.
To attempt to expedite the pickup by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from the Kenosha County Jail, the most effective course of action is to contact the specific ICE office responsible for the region and provide them with all necessary information.
Kenosha is covered by the ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Chicago Field Office.
Here are the specific steps to take:
1. Gather Essential Information
Before calling, you must have the following details for the individual:
Full Name (as booked): Including any aliases.
Date of Birth: (DOB)
A-Number (Alien Registration Number): This is a 9-digit number (e.g., A123 456 789). If you do not have this, the full name and DOB are crucial.
Kenosha County Jail ID/Booking Number: This is the local number assigned upon arrest.
Scheduled Release Date/Time: The precise moment the 24-hour hold window expires.
2. Contact the ICE Chicago Field Office
The local jail reports the detainer to this office. You need to call the office directly and explain the situation to the officer or supervisor on duty who handles jail pickups.
