GAINESVILLE - Officers from Hall County and Whitfield County sheriff's offices began a five-week training course Monday where they will learn to enforce immigration law as part of a special program.
The ICE 287(g) program provides detailed training on several topics including immigration law, intercultural relations, and how to use Department of Homeland Security databases to help identify criminals and immigration violators. Once the course is completed an agreement between ICE and the County Sheriff's Offices will enable officers to determine the immigration status of those processed through county jails or those that are encountered during the normal course of duties and it will also allow them to initiate removal proceedings for those found to be in the country illegally.
