ICE seeks illegal immigrant in Colorado fatal hit-and-run who bonded out of jail
2018-03-12
[FoxNews] Ivan Zamarripa-Castaneda, 26, allegedly fled the scene of the accident on Interstate 70 involving a tractor-trailer that caught on fire last week, leaving the driver to die, according to the Denver Police Department.

The 26-year-old had bond posted at $25,000, meaning he could get out of jail for $2,500 and avoid federal immigration officials until his next court date. That's because the Denver Police Department and other state agencies stopped honoring detainer orders from ICE since 2013 after courts ruled it was illegal.

The Denver Sheriff Department, which operates the jail, told Fox News last week that unless ICE gets a federal criminal warrant that Zamarripa-Castaneda could leave detention after posting bond.

ICE officials told Fox News last week they detain up to 40,000 people per day, and don't have the resources to go after every federal warrant.

Actually this is a Federalism issue that has been getting more severe as the national prison population expands: the Feds are too busy/cheap($$) so they are effectively having the States pay to house their suspects, the States are doing it to the Counties, and the Counties to the Cities... Everyone wants someone else to pay for the upkeep.
There is also the whole 'Free the Pot/illegals/etc' cause du jour grandstanding by the locals...

#1  Bullshit. The publicity and outrage was out about this guy. It was a deliberate attempt to keep him free from the Feds. Heads should roll, starting at the top, like Broward
