While America is dealing with turmoil over how to secure its borders to the south, San Bernardino County has interviewed 947 inmates from 64 countries other than Mexico. It is a measure San Bernardino County is taking to make sure that people that came here illegally, then broke America’s laws, are not released back onto American soil. In the past year and a half, county corrections officers have interviewed more than 4,200 suspected illegal immigrants and have placed immigration holds on just over half of them, with investigations still pending on many others. As soon as they serve out their sentences they are turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to be deported.
