County trains jail workers to enforce federal immigration laws
By STAFF REPORTS
Published:
8/21/2007 1:38 PM
Last Modified: 8/21/2007 1:38 PM
Federal and local officials kicked off a program Tuesday to train Tulsa County deputies and jailers to enforce federal immigration laws.
Thirty-one Tulsa County Sheriff's department employees and 7 other law enforcement officials started the training Tuesday at the Tulsa Jail.
The training program is meant to ensure better detection of those who are in the country illegally and the elimination of instances in which criminal aliens are released back into the community.
Sheriff Stanley Glanz, U.S. Rep. John Sullivan and U.S. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Julie Myers help a press conference at the Tulsa Jail to discuss the training.
To date, some 457 officers across the country have completed the training which cross-designates them to enforce immigration law as authorized by the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The program involves five weeks of training for field-level law enforcement officers and four weeks for jailers.
Sullivan said the training program hopefully will help cut out the "catch and release" approach to immigration law enforcement and serve as a deterrant for illegal aliens considering making Tulsa their new home.
Despite the local training, Sullivan said he intends to continue his efforts to get a permanent federal immigration enforcement office in Tulsa.
Myers made no promises on that point Tuesday, but said that getting a handle on illegal immigration is important to Oklahomans.
She added the department is continuing to evaluate how to address the problem in Oklahoma and other interior states.

Five weeks of training? For what?
How to catch an illegal immigrant in 5 easy steps:
1. Go to 21st & Mingo.
2. Yell "INS!"
3. Round up and cuff the ones who run.
4. Throw them in jail.
5. Call the feds to have the illegals shipped back to their homeland.

Five weeks is acceptable. If we are not careful they will be screaming their rights were violated even though they have none in my opinion. This is great. It could start a job war in Oklahoma. We might need a lot more officers to help do the job.

yeah, Doc. You got it. Does that not tell you something. IF the government really wanted them gone, it's not that hard to find them. The government has allowed them to be here. They have not been hiding. EVERYBODY knows where they are.

#1 & 4 you are correct. They don't have to give the police 5 weeks of training, just has a Neighborhood Alert Group.

What I hate is driving around 21st & Garnett and the speed limit is 40 and they choose to go 30 because they are afraid they will get pulled over. Annoying to those who do not fear the police.

I am against the bill and all that goes with it. I am supporting a clean up of the backlog at immigration so those who have filed and paid for their VISAs will be able to live and work in peace.

Yes, and we need and ICE station in Tulsa at 21st and Garnett too! I am sick of all the broken beer bottles in all those shopping centers. I had to quit going to the haircut place over there because I didn't want to ruin my tires!
Why can't we make it a law that the first time you are caught as an illegal alien that it is a felony and the person will NEVER be eligible for citizenship or a green card?

My uncle lives at 121st and 21st street. he is afraid to go out of his house in the day time, much less at night. he says the illegals have no respect for anything. he says they will rob and kill you and not think twice about it. he is sick of seeing broken bottles everywhere. he said he remembers when it use to be a decent neighborhood to live in.

it is about time that the laws that are already on the books get enforced. If they want to be there then do it legally. We use to have a Border Patroll Office here. But for some reason it was closed years ago. Just wondering if that was about the time that the mushrom plant opened????????
