The latest will allow local deputies to detain immigrants on behalf of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), even if sanctuary policies are written to prevent it. Unlike the more involved 287(g) ICE program, deputies would not interview a detainee to ascertain his or her citizenship and immigration status. U.S Border Patrol Chief Carla Provost said her agency apprehended 33,000 migrants in the just the last 10 days. "The numbers are so high, but these individuals are not being detained," National Border Patrol Council Vice President Art Del Cueto said. Men from the Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador pay $8,000 fees to cross the U.S. border illegally, border patrol agents have said.
