Informational Picket
Join us on Thursday March 11, 2010 from 10:30 A.M. - 11:30 A.M. at the Lake County Courthouse. An Illegal alien will be sentenced for committing a heinous crime in our community. How many more crimes will be committed in our community by illegal aliens, before something is done? How many illegal aliens have gone through our court system and paid a fine. We cannot wait for something to be done on a federal level. We need Bills passed within our state to protect Ohio residents. Senate Bill 35 and Senate Bill 150 will protect Ohio residents.
SENATE BILL 35 sponsored by Senators Bill Seitz (R - Cincinnati) and Jimmy Stewart (R - Albany) would mandate that the Ohio Attorney General pursue a memorandum of agreement with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement to deputize Ohio law enforcement officers as immigration enforcement officers. This would provide for the enforcement of both criminal and civil violations of immigration law. This memorandum agreement is commonly referred to as a 287(g) program.
The bill language below is also available at: http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=128_SB_35
SENATE BILL 150 sponsored by Senator Gary Cates (R-West Chester), would provide that a board of county commissioners may direct a sheriff to take custody of persons who are being detained for deportation or who are charged with criminal violations of immigration law and to expressly authorize state and local employees and county sheriffs to render assistance to federal immigration officials in the investigation and enforcement of federal immigration law. Senate Bill 150 is a reintroduction of the last general assembly's Senate Bill 260, which contained the same provisions. The bill text is currently in the Senate State and Local Government and Veterans Affairs Committee
