Or are they just against the Constitution?

In a statement, ICE officials said releasing suspected undocumented immigrants back into the community poses dangers, both to the public and to the agents, and committed to working with local sheriffs to deport the most dangerous undocumented immigrants.

Pelle in April joined several other Colorado sheriffs in announcing he would no longer honor the ICE requests. The detainers request that sheriffs hold a suspected undocumented immigrant for up to 48 hours beyond their normal release time. Add in weekends and holidays, and 48 hours can stretch to nearly a week, says Mark Silverstein of the Colorado ACLU. Boulder County saw about 150 ICE detainer requests in 2013, Pelle said, out of 10,000 bookings.

"Even 48 hours is a very long time to someone who should be free," Silverstein said. "The government has to have adequate grounds to deprive someone of their liberty. Even for a few minutes, it needs to be justified."
