Hamilton, Ohio (FOX19) – Butler County has concluded an agreement on the immigration and customs authority (ICE) in the district prison and can begin until next week.

The sheriff of Butler County, Richard Jones, now announced Fox19 in the early this month that the prison carried out all the necessary federal inspections as part of the approval process.

On Tuesday, the district commission approved a change in the current contract of the prison with the US marshal service to the federal prisoners, which complemented ICE prisoners on Wednesday, March 5.

Butler County receives 68 US dollars a day to accommodate ice prisoners plus 36 US dollars every hour in order to transport them to places such as the court according to a copy of the resolution.

“I have hundreds of beds ready and you can come here like Motel 6. Sheriff Jones recently said Fox19.

According to the ICES website, Butler County's prison becomes one of two prisons in the Tri-State, in which immigrants can be accommodated in ice custody and the third in Ohio. The other two prisons in Ohio are in Chardon and Tifton.

There are three in Kentucky, including the Boone County prison, the only full-time disc finding center in the Bluegrass State.

Only one prison in Indiana houses immigrants in ice custody and is located about 170 miles from Cincinnati in Brazil (Clay County).

Butler County's prison had an ice contract for years, but Sheriff Jones ended when President Joe Biden came into office in 2021.

At the time, the sheriff said that it “fired” ice cream before the prison was first fired by the Biden administration “.

He said he had objections to Biden's border policy and essentially did not name a guideline with an alarming number of illegals that stream across the border together with an unprecedented amount of drugs.

In addition, the sheriff said that he feared that the bidges would order the prison to release its ice prisoners due to legal technical goods, and he would have to release it in Butler County.

But all of this changed when Donald Trump was re -elected last year after she had promised under many things to hire illegal immigration with mass shifts and stricter border policy.

The sheriff and his employees began to crawl to certify for ice prisoners.

As soon as Trump was sworn in to the office last month, ice attacks quickly started in places such as New York City and Northeast Ohio.

While you have not yet happened in the Tri-State, Butler County's prison is now ready and is waiting.

To ensure that this was clear, the sheriff put back a controversial, bright yellow shield, which he built years ago, but had stopped taking ice prisoners after the prison.

The sign says “illegal foreigners here” with an arrow that points to the prison.

A petition drive prompted it to lose weight, which has collected 4,562 signatures by Wednesday morning.

The chosen civil servant, who has just won his sixth term, who was unhindered for the third time, accepted the movement and said that he was everything for fairness and transparency. He published a link to the petition on his social media pages and wrote: “The sheriff is always ready to help something! Definitely … sign the petition! The sheriff is here to help! “

The renewed partnership of Butler County with ICE is in a sharp contrast to other areas such as the city of Cincinnati, in which the Mayor Aftab Pureval recently confirmed.

Cincinnati has been a Sanctuary City since 2017, the first year of Trump's first term as president.

This means that the city will not enforce the federal immigration laws against which this is illegally.

And Hamilton County Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey recently announced FOX19 that now everyone can contact their office without fear of deportation.

“As a sheriff of Hamilton County, I created the mission statement for protection and to serve Hamilton County with an accountability, transparency, dignity and respect. Everyone in Hamilton County deserves this type of treatment, regardless of whether it comes from Ohio or not, ”she recently said in a prepared explanation.

“Our immigration policy shows that we allow the public to communicate with our office, including immigrants and refugees, without being afraid of interviewing immigration status or deportation.

“I am and will always be a sheriff that enforces law and order, and I am also a sheriff who is a lawyer for the same human rights.

“Apart from that, I will also find that I have given a task force to examine the actions of organized crime in relation to undocumented people who participate in theft in the region.”

Other Americans say that immigration this year should be a first-class focus for the US government, according to a survey by the Associated Press-Norc Center for Public Affairs Research in December.

About half of US-growing people appointed immigration and border issues in an open question in which the respondents asked to share up to five topics on which the government is supposed to work this year, the AP reported in the last Month.

This was recently reported by about a third who mentioned the topic as a government priority in an AP-Norc survey carried out last year.
