I feel it is important to state from the top that the quotes contained herein are not coming from Donald Trump, although they do seem to be direct quotes of him, but from the Honorary Co-Chair of the Trump 2020 Re-election Committee in Massachusetts, a guy who secretly reported on his own parish church to Steven Miller because it was actually acting Christian, is on the Board of White supremacist, anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant groups, whose meetings he attends and at which he speaks, the sheriff of Bristol County Massachusetts, Thomas Hodgson.
I will spare the details which I have covered a number of times in the past, but suffice it to say that based on the results of an investigation that found,
”The Bristol County Sheriff Office’s calculated use of force included the use of a variety of less-lethal but dangerous weapons— including a flash bang grenade, pepper-ball launchers, pepper spray canisters, anti-riot shields, and canines—against detainees who had exhibited calm and nonviolent behavior for at least an hour before this operation. The BCSO deployed these weapons both indiscriminately upon entry and also specifically against particular detainees who were not combative, assaultive, or otherwise actively resisting staff. Informing our conclusion that the BCSO’s use of force was excessive.”
“The BCSO violated the civil rights of the detainees …… by using excessive force against the ICE B detainees and by acting with deliberate indifference to a substantial risk of serious injury or harm to the detainees and their health,”
The Department of Homeland Security decided to cancel the sheriff’s contract with ICE and close his detention facility because,
“we will not tolerate the mistreatment of individuals in civil immigration detention or substandard conditions of detention. We have an obligation to make lasting improvements to our civil immigration detention system. This marks an important first step to realizing that goal. DHS detention facilities and the treatment of individuals in those facilities will be held to our health and safety standards. Where we discover they fall short, we will continue to take action as we are doing today.”
The sheriff had been given the opportunity to make necessary changes to prevent and improve things, but he had declared no intention to take any of the recommended steps throughout the opening months of the Covid Pandemic and then he refused to implement any of the recommendations included in the full report referred to above that could remedy what led up to the May 1, 2020 riot at the Ice detention center as he publicly demanded the chief lawyer of the state and the head if law enforcement explain what right did she, as the top of the law enforcement ladder, have to tell him what he should do.
“How dare she say she expects me to follow them.”
The day after DHS announced its decision to close the detention center, Hodgson announced he was considering possible legal action against the Department of Homeland Security that ordered U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to immediately terminate its contracts with the sheriff’s office.
The county’s ICE facility had seven detainees at the time (the most detainees at one time was more than 200), according to BCSO spokesperson Jonathan Darling. They were transferred to Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office Thursday, just hours after DHS announced its decision.
Within hours of its announcement, ICE officials retrieved any of its equipment and took credentials of some local deputies with specialized ICE training, Ice training the people of the County paid for so that these deputies could do the federal government’s work and not work for the people of the county who pay their salaries.
Going for the Trumpian hyperbole to which he goes any time there is any criticism of him by ignoring facts while making sweeping statements that are intended to scare people into supporting his actions without questioning any of them, like too many suicides and illegal use of solitary confinement, The sheriff claims, that all Massachusetts residents are now at a greater risk of being “victimized by criminal illegal aliens”.
“By letting people out that we otherwise would be holding, they’re going back into our communities dealing more drugs onto our kids.”
He needs to offer the people of the state supporting evidence of this threat, or he is just the old guy protecting his lawn from the neighborhood kids who are nowhere near it.
Because of steps taken during the height of the Covid Pandemic which the sheriff obeyed only after much kicking and screaming and a court ruling, those who were released back into the community were those whose only crime, a misdemeanor, is being in the country by overstaying a visa or being here without having taken the proper steps, leaving him with only 7 detainees who were actually there in accordance with the rules for detention as opposed to all the others who were let out.
Those released had for the most part only been detained having been in the wrong place at the wrong time and were mainly people who had families and jobs. These are as much a danger to society as your uncle Fred who spent a weekend in jail for a DUI.

They are the kids out in the hall without a hall pass, not the kid behind the gym selling crack.
The seven he had at the end were arrested allegedly for murder, assault and battery, rape of a minor, trafficking illicit drugs and armed robbery.
And they were detained according to the rules the sheriff should have followed but treated as arbitrary and subject to his approval.
Even with this, according to a local newspaper, the sheriff’s spokesperson when directly questioned was unsure if one of the last seven Bristol County detainees had criminal charges because that detainee came to the facility from Rhode Island and the sheriff’s office does not have his record from there.
That’s an example of the sheriff while he claims to only have the safety of the people of Bristol County as the reason for all he does, brings in someone from somewhere else whose reason for detention in the first place is unknown.
Goldilocks breaking into the bear family’s home, or Hannibal Lector.
Even within the sheriff office’s official statement about the character of the detainees there is some doubt about how accurate a statement like all Massachusetts residents now being at a greater risk of being “victimized by criminal illegal aliens” when they clearly do not know why a person is even in the facility.
How does that label apply here?
The sheriff objects to the loss of his ICE Dungeon because according to the contract he signed with ICE it,
“shall remain in effect indefinitely, or until terminated by either Party upon 60 days written notice, unless an emergency situation requires the immediate relocation of detainees, or the Parties agree to a shorter period.”
What the Attorney General’s report found would certainly constitute an emergency situation.
“They didn’t give me any written notification and they didn’t give a 60-day notice,” the sheriff has said.
That’s what happens when you realize that the sheriff had been involved in a
“calculated use of force included the use of a variety of less-lethal but dangerous weapons— including a flash bang grenade, pepper-ball launchers, pepper spray canisters, anti-riot shields, and canines—against detainees who had exhibited calm and nonviolent behavior for at least an hour before this operation. The BCSO deployed these weapons both indiscriminately upon entry and also specifically against particular detainees who were not combative, assaultive, or otherwise actively resisting staff. Informing our conclusion that the BCSO’s use of force was excessive.”
“The BCSO violated the civil rights of the detainees …… by using excessive force against the ICE B detainees and by acting with deliberate indifference to a substantial risk of serious injury or harm to the detainees and their health.”
After multiple warnings to straighten out his ICE Detention Center and his very public refusal to do so, his claim that,
“It’s nothing but a political hit job orchestrated by Sec. Mayorkas, the Biden administration and other anti-law enforcement groups to punish outspoken critics and advance their partisan agenda to score political points. This decision puts the people of Bristol County, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United States of America at greater risk of being victimized by criminal illegal aliens,”
Is the hollow defense of the child with cookie crumbs on his lips.
