Nancy Mace has sent a letter to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) requesting all communications between and the Charleston County Sheriff\u2019s Office concerning ICE detainer requests and the failures of Sheriff Graziano to comply with them.\n\n\u201cWe understand under Sheriff Graziano\u2019s leadership, the Charleston County Sheriff\u2019s Office has refused to provide U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with adequate hold time to assume custody of illegal aliens and refused to provide ICE with notification they have an illegal alien in custody prior to their release,\u201d Rep. Nancy Mace\u2019s letter stated. \u201cIn fact, Charleston County has been recognized as a non-cooperative institution by ICE\u2019s Enforcement and Removal Operations Criminal Apprehension Division.\u201d\n\nOur letter seeks the following information from ICE:\n\nAll email communications between any employee of ICE and any employee of the Charleston County Sheriff\u2019s Office on or after January 4, 2021\n\nAll documents relating to detainer requests issued by ICE to the Charleston County Sheriff\u2019s Office on or after January 4, 2021, including the criminal charges brought against each alien and whether the alien was released from custody by the Charleston County Sheriff\u2019s Office\n\n\u201cThis is not an isolated incident. According to ICE data, since Fiscal Year 2021, the Charleston County Sheriff\u2019s Office has refused to honor at least 51 detainer requests issued by ICE \u2013 opting instead to release these criminal aliens into our communities,\u201d Rep. Mace continued.\n\nRead the full letter here.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://mace.house.gov/LettertoICE"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8610000368207693, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
