The Georgia Not1More Campaign is currently organizing to stop local law enforcement in the state of Georgia from prolonging people’s detention on the sole basis of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers.  We know that winning this goal will drastically reduce the number of families that are torn apart by detention and deportation and diminish the ability of Georgia law enforcement to racially profile and terrorize local communities.

Across the nation, courts are setting legal precedent by deeming local law enforcement’s prolonging of a person’s detention on the sole basis of ICE detainers a violation of an individual’s 4^th Amendment rights.  Local law enforcement agencies are being threatened by lawsuits and can no longer afford to do ICE’s dirty work. (See letter previously sent to sheriffs by the ACLU of Georgia in February 2013)

In order to accomplish this goal and to join the hundreds of towns and municipalities throughout this country who no longer honor ICE detainers, we need your support. On June 5th, 2014, we issued a letter to DeKalb County Sheriff and subsequently sheriffs in every Georgia county calling for the use of their discretion to end collaboration with Immigration and Customs Enforcement on ICE detainers (see http://www.acluga.org/files/5914/0199/9722/Letter_to_GA_Counties_re_ICE_Holds_6-5-2014.pdf). We now call on members of our legal community – lawyers, law professors and other legal experts in Constitutional Law to add your support of the legal challenges to ICE Holds by adding your name to the GA Not 1 More Deportation Campaign’s Legal Endorsement contesting their use across the State of Georgia. We ask you to sign the legal endorsement letter here to express your support for this campaign.
