Most local agencies simply do not choose to pursue them, as it tends to be a headache contacting ICE and waiting to see if they are going to come and get them. In my experience, they tend to respond only if the subject has a lengthy record, to include crimes of violence and drugs. They seldom respond if the only infractions are misdemeanors and simply being here illegaly. Gov. Brewer is simply trying to force the feds to enforce the laws already there.

ICE is toooo busy trying to do the job's of other Federal agencys like DEA, FBI. If they would just do their established job things would work a lot more...... Normally they are too busy snaking cases form others or fighting with CBP.
