Local ICE officials now report “100% coverage” of state prisons in the southeast and relationships with many county and city jails:

The Georgia Department of Corrections transferred 433 felons to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation proceedings in 2007, the most recent year for which state and federal data are available. That’s more than twice as many as the 189 handed over to the agency in 2002.
