Should the Newport News Sheriff honor ICE detainers?
Sheriff’s Office: Does not honor ICE detainers without a judicial (marshal’s) warrant. If someone in custody has an ICE detainer, the office notifies ICE of the person’s custody and scheduled release date. ICE can then seek a warrant to hold the person; without one, the person is released on schedule and is not held extra time (e.g., the common 48-hour hold). This policy makes Newport News an outlier in the Hampton Roads area.
