FIRE Coalition Interviews Sheriff Terry Johnson (1 of 2)

Jeff Lewis, National Director of FIRE Coalition, interviews Sheriff Terry Johnson, Alamance County, North Carolina, about his participation in the federal 287(g) program. Section 287(g) of the federal Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which became law in 1996, allows state and local law enforcement officers and employees to perform the same functions as federal immigration (ICE) officers. As a participant of this program, Sheriff Johnson provides valuable insight for state and local government leaders as to the benefits of 287(g).

OPERATION FIRE AND ICE ( http://OperationFIREandICE.com ) is a project of FIRE Coalition, and was created to assist state and local law enforcement with participation in the 287(g) program. The public benefits from learning about 287(g) as well, since often the push for their local governments to begin enforcing federal immigration laws comes from ordinary citizens, not their political representatives.

Every city and county needs the 287 g. Bradley County,TN and Cleveland,TN are known as the place to come for fake licenses/documents and stolen identities. Document mills, MS 13 gang, overcrowded schools,jail, etc. Many thousands of illegal aliens in Cleveland and countless homes and apartments where they live/harbored. Housing codes not enforced.

Citizens asked Sheriff Gobble and Chief Snyder to acquire the 287 g to address the illegal alien invasion in Cleveland, TN and Bradley County.
