Each year Pima County taxpayers spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to jail illegal entrants accused of misdemeanor crimes. But the County Attorney’s Office is working on a plan that could get them out of jail and back to Mexico and other foreign ports faster. On any given day, about 10 percent of the prisoners in the county jail are illegal entrants, or believed to be illegal entrants, said India Davis, the jail’s support-operations division commander. Once their local charges have been settled, agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement take custody of those here illegally and deport them or begin deportation proceedings.
