Biden's New ICE Appointee Wants Criminal Aliens Kept in Our Communities

The Biden administration has appointed Kerry E. Doyle to lead the legal division at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

As head of the Office of the Principal Legal Advisor, Doyle is responsible for promoting ICE's mission and ensuring that violators of immigration and customs laws are held accountable or, as explained on ICE.gov, "OPLA serves as the exclusive representative of DHS in immigration removal proceedings before the Executive Office for Immigration Review, litigating all removal cases including those against criminal aliens, terrorists, and human rights abusers."

Herself, has never been a proponent of ICE's mission and is an open opponent of ICE programs, it is difficult to see how her presence at ICE won't harm the agency and public safety.

The so-called Safe Communities Act, which Doyle has publicly advocated for and likely helped draft since it was spearheaded by MIRA, would, among other things, prohibit local law enforcement from inquiring about immigration status, prohibit local law enforcement from partnering with ICE through the successful public safety and cooperation program 287(g), and prohibit local courts from sharing with ICE information on criminal alien incarceration.

The impact of Doyle's policy preferences - specifically, the ending of 287(g) cooperative agreements between ICE and Massachusetts sheriffs - is easily understood by looking at some of the program's highlights over the past two years in that state.

Through the program, local law enforcement is trained to identify illegal aliens in their jails and notify ICE so that the federal government can take them into custody.

Doyle is on record supporting the release of illegal aliens arrested for horrific, violent crimes back into our communities.
