Jail counts 313 illegal immigrants since July
The Prince William/Manassas Regional Adult Detention Center (ADC) has completed checking the immigration status of the jail population in conjunction with its 287g agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
On July 10, 2007, the Adult Detention Center began implementation of the 287g program, which authorizes trained staff to investigate inmates’ legal status and to begin deportation proceedings if necessary. Since July 10, the staff has issued immigration detainers for those inmates who were currently incarcerated and those inmates committed to the ADC. During that time a total of 313 individuals have been issued immigration detainers.
