| https://mace.house.gov/LettertoICE | REP. NANCY MACE REQUESTS DOCUMENTS FROM ICE ON CHARLESTON COUNTY SHERIFF’S FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH DETAINER REQUESTS | 2024-09-25 | 2024 | 2024-09 | Republican | House | SC | Nancy Mace | M000194 | mace.house.gov | mace | https://mace.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | (Charleston, SC, September 25th, 2024) – After sending a letter directly to the Sheriff of Charleston County, Kristin Graziano, this morning Rep. Nancy Mace has sent a letter to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) requesting all communications between and the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office concerning ICE detainer requests and the failures of Sheriff Graziano to comply with them. “We understand under Sheriff Graziano’s leadership, the Charleston County Sheriff’s 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,” Rep. Nancy Mace’s letter stated. “In fact, Charleston County has been recognized as a non-cooperative institution by ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations Criminal Apprehension Division.” Our letter seeks the following information from ICE: All email communications between any employee of ICE and any employee of the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office on or after January 4, 2021 All documents relating to detainer requests issued by ICE to the Charleston County Sheriff’s 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’s Office “This is not an isolated incident. According to ICE data, since Fiscal Year 2021, the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office has refused to honor at least 51 detainer requests issued by ICE – opting instead to release these criminal aliens into our communities,” Rep. Mace continued. Read the full letter here. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z |
