The Defenders Initiative recognizes law enforcement agencies honoring their constitutional oath to protect and to serve by working cooperatively with ICE to identify, process, and detain dangerous immigration offenders per Section 287(g).
Likewise, we expose oath breakers refusing to cooperate with this critical mission, directly undermining American citizens’ rights to safety and security!
Tell us who is honoring their oath to uphold the law and working collaboratively with ICE to identify, process, and detain criminal illegal aliens per Section 287(g) so they may receive the recognition they deserve!
