Belmont County, OHIO: Why Illegals Were Let Go Not So Clear (Oh, yes it is, this is how ICE usually operates when they get calls to pick up illegal aliens from local police)

BELMONT COUNTY, Ohio -- Twenty illegal aliens are pulled over on 1-470 Tuesday morning. After running checks on them, the Belmont County Sheriffs Department contacts an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer and the twenty men, here illegally, are let go.

Why they were let go is not so clear. According to ICE officials, Belmont County Deputies let them go on their own accord.

"Belmont apparently refused to let the ICE agent interview each alien, and decided upon themselves to release the aliens. All 20," said Greg Palmore, an ICE official.

But Sheriff Fred Thompson said that isn't the case. He said ICE officials did ask to interview the aliens, but his deputies didnt have the means to do so.
