ICE Detainer Issued for Suspected Wine Country Arsonist in Sonoma Jail - Breitbart

ICE Detainer Issued for Suspected Wine Country Arsonist in Sonoma Jail - Breitbart:

The county only cooperates with “ICE holds” if the prisoner has been convicted of a felony or any misdemeanor offence that falls within the Trust Act within the last five years.
