Monthly ICE reports detail some of the people who have been detained. In the last few months in Cobb County, those people include a Jamaican citizen who had been sentenced to ten years for armed robbery and a Mexican citizen who drove on suspended license and failed to yield to a pedestrian at crosswalk.
In Gwinnett, they include a citizen of El Salvador who was charged with aggravated child molestation by sodomy.
And in Hall County, a Mexican citizen was also arrested for drug trafficking. Hall continues to participate in the program.
Politics or safety?
Austin Kocher, a geographer at Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse — a research institute that analyzes federal data regarding immigration enforcement — said the program is more about politics than safety.
