House Speaker destinholl has filed legislation that would require sheriffs
make that to notify federal immigration authorities before releasing anyone
being held at those officials' request. In other words, in
other words, if you are an illegal alien and you
get arrested for some kind of a violent, serious crime,
and you get put in the Mecklenburg County jail and
you then get a bond assigned to you, ICE has
requested of the sheriff that you notify ICE if you
have somebody in the jail, and the sheriff has now
finally been dragged kicking and screaming to at least notifying
ICE ICE that there is that there is an illegal
alien in the jail. Now ICE puts in a detainer
request on that inmate. Oh, sorry, resident. As our illustrious
and frustrated sheriff likes to call the inmates, he calls
them residents. And so now that illegal alien resident, would
that be a resident? Illegal alien? Gosh, I swear leftist.
You guys are just mangling my language. Just please stop anyway.
So now there's a request, a detainer request on that inmate,
and that inmate then gets put before a judge, and
the judge gives them a bond. And at that point
the detainer request in the detainer request form says, please
notify us forty eight hours before you're about to release somebody,
so ICE can send down some people to transfer that
inmate out of your custody. Because they've bailed out, right,
if they get a bond, if they get a bond
set and then they bail out, and now they're out
on the street, ICE has to go find them, and
they would much rather take them into custody if they're
going to be released. They want to take them into
custody in the jail. Why, well, you saw what happened
up in Denver Colorado yesterday or day before, maybe captured
on the security camera out in front of the Denver
Police or either the police department or the jail. I forget,
I think it may have been the correctional facility. And
one of these guys gets let out and ICE is
out in the parking lot, and the guy runs from police,
runs from ICE, and scuffle ensues, an ICE agent is injured.
See that's the kind of risk that you are elevating
when you don't allow the transfer to occur inside the
correctional facility, where the people are, you know, handcuffed already, right,
they don't have any weapons on them, right, They've they've
been incarcerated, So a transfer inside the jail is way
safer for them, it's safer for the ICE agents, it's
safer for the community, particularly if you have somebody who
is violent that now is angry that they got arrested,
and you're going to release them back into the community,
and they very well could go back and reoffend against
the same victim, right because they're mad that they got
arrested because the victim called the cops on them. And
if you get rid of the victim, then there's no
witness and you know, maybe you don't get prosecuted kind
of thing. So it's a way safer protocol. But our
sheriff doesn't want anybody deported, and so he refuses to
cooperate fully with ICE, and so the legislature has to
keep passing laws to try to close every single loophole
that Mecklenburg County Sheriff Gary not my fault McFadden keeps employing.
I do not believe, by the way, for one minute,
for any amount of time, that McFadden is combing through
the law to find these loopholes, because these loopholes are
being employed by other departments, other sheriffs also, So there
are obviously, you know, activists, lawyers that are reading through
these laws. They're finding the loopholes, and they are letting
people know this is how you don't comply. This is
how you protect the violent offender from being transferred into
ICE custody. And that's what we saw happen here. We
went over this. A couple of weeks ago, we had
yet another example of a violent criminal domestic violence. I
believe it was one of the charges, and McFadden did
not call his deputies, did not call Ice. When they
knew this person was about to be released, they just
released him. And when Ice was like, yo, why didn't
you tell us? And he's like, well, I don't have to.
The law doesn't specifically say I have to make that
phone call. No, the detainer request does, but the law doesn't.
The law overlooked that specific piece of it because in
I guess the lawmaker's minds when they're like, honoring a
detainer request means that you, you know, honor the request, you
do the things that are requested of you. And because
now we have this petulant narcissist as a sheriff, now
we have to explicitly say you have to do this.
And I'm sure they're over already lawyers out there looking
for another way to get around this law, and McFadden,
I am sure if they find one, he will employ
it because he does not want people deported, even the
violent offenders. He will deny that. I have heard all
of his commentary on this topic. He will deny it.
But he thinks you're an idiot. He thinks you're stupid,
because anybody who reads through the original source documents knows
the game he is playing on this Ice understands it.
I think the North Carolina legislature now understands the game
that he is playing. And so now you've got another
piece of legislation, House Bill three eighteen. And Destin Hall,
the Speaker of the House, he's running point on this bill,
which means chances are very good it's going to get passed.
There is also another form of this legislation over in
the Senate. That one is being run by the Senate
President pro Tem Phil Berger, which means there's a pretty
good chance that that too, is going to get passed.
Because if those two leaders of those two chambers want
to see something happen and they are running a bill,
the membership understands this is really important to the leadership,
and you don't want to cross them on something that
they believe is important. And also, by the way, it
just so happens in this case that the right thing
to do is also good politics, it's also good optics.
Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to
a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina.
Just a quick drive up the mountain and cabins of
Asheville is your connection. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon,
maybe you want to plan a memorable proposal, or get

Let me play this clip. This is the Speaker of
the North Carolina House, Destin Hall, announcing u the what
is his House Bill three point eighteen that he is
leading point on that would require sheriffs to notify ICE
before the sheriffs release anybody that's being held in their
jails with an ICE detainer request on them.
Speaker 2: Hey, guys, a speaker of Destin Hall at North Carolina
House of Representatives today, I'm filing the Criminal Illegal Alien
Enforcement Act. If you're an illegal alien in North Carolina
and you're committing crimes in our state, you've got to go.
And the best way that we can make sure that
that happens in our state is by ensuring that local
law enforcement, when they charge someone here illegally for committing
a crime in our state, that they cooperate with ICE.
We've seen the results of sanctuary sheriffs in North Carolina
who refuse to cooperate with ICE, and those results have
been tragic. We've seen people who are here illegally committing
crimes against a person going into the jail, and a
small number of sheriffs in our state now probably fewer
than five, allowing that person to walk out of the
jail as soon as they meet bail, even if Ice
wants to pick that person up, and we've seen them
go on to reoffend, often against the same victim. It's insanity.
It's not what's in the best interest of public safety
in our state. And we're going to do everything possible
from the North Carolina General Assembly to make sure the
public is kept safe and to make sure we're doing
all we can to cooperate with our federal immigration enforcement
officers at the federal level.
Speaker 1: Right So that was his statement quick video that he
put out on Twitter. He had previously led the charge
in the House before he was Speaker to enact legislation
to require sheriffs to honor the detainer requests submitted by
Ice that asks local law enforcement to temporarily hold people
under arrest who are believed to be in the country
illegally so Ice would have time to take custody of them.
That was House Built ten. This is now House Built
three eighteen, which seeks to address an issue that arose
in Mecklenburg County after the provisions of House Built ten
went into effect last year. This is according to The
Charlotte Observer article by Avi Bogpi House built ten required sheriffs,
after they receive a detainer request to take the person
before a state judicial official, present them with the detainer
and then hold them for up to forty eight hours
after the judicial official issued an order. Individuals being held
on detainers can only be held for forty eight hours
or until ICE takes custody or ICE rescinds their detainer,
whichever happens first. And what McFadden was doing was failing
to notify ICE when those people that were being held
under bond in the jail had bailed out. He was
not making the call to ICE to say these people
are about to be released. You know, stories are powerful.

dot com. Gary's Law, that's what I'm calling it. Gary's Law,
named after Mecklenburg County Sheriff Gary Not my fault McFadden.
I call him that in case you are new to
the program, if you are welcome, but I call him
that because nothing is ever his fault. Anything good that happens.
He takes credit for anything. You know, the sheriff's office
gets some award whatever, and he puts them all on
his shelf behind his desk, so if you're ever doing
an interview with him, everybody can see all the accolades.
But anything that goes wrong at the Sheriff's office jailed deaths,
you know, hemorrhaging qualified experienced staff, you know, anything that
goes wrong not his fault, somebody else's fault. Even when
he was caught on a recording using racial slurs, it
wasn't his fault. It was his staff's fault, not for
recording it, but for making him so and I'm quoting
frustrated that he had to use those types of words.
So now and he wants us all to move on now.
Even the Charlotte Observer editorial board says that he is
unfit for the office, but we can't do anything about it,
which is not true. By the way. Something can be
done about it. It's just going to require not my fault,
McFadden's colleagues and the Democrat Party that are in elected
positions to actually, you know, give a flying fig Newton
about removing him. And until they are willing to express
said interest, we will all just have to continue to
suffer and the state legislature will have to keep passing
laws to try to force him to keep our community safe.
So the new legislation is meant to close a loophole
that was in house built. Ten I have covered, I've
gone through the loophole. I've read from the and I
still have it because I keep files because that's part
of my training as a journalist is that you are
supposed to keep the records. In this way, you know
what has occurred. The historical record is very important to
understanding any new developments in a particular story. The detainer
that ICE gives to the Sheriff's office is both a
request for advanced notification of release and a request to
hold the subject for a short period of time forty
eight hours, enabling ICE to take custody. Okay, so this
is right off of the ICE dot gov website. Anybody
can find it. ICE collaborates with all law enforcement agencies
to help ensure that non citizens who may pose a
public safety threat are not released onto the streets to
reoffend and potentially harm individuals living within our communities. In
some cases, however, state or local laws, ordinances, or policies
restrict or prohibit cooperation with ICE. This is from the
actual immigration detainer request. I have a copy of. It
says right here it is requested that you maintain custody
of the subject for a period not to exceed forty
eight hours excluding Saturday Sundays and holidays as early as
possible prior to the time you otherwise would release the subject.
Please notify Department of Homeland Security by calling this number
during business hours or this other number after hours or
in an emergency. And if you cannot reach a DHS
official at those numbers, here's another number. And then they
also ask that you notify this office of the time
of release at least thirty days prior to release, or
as far in advance as possible. An immigration detainer issued
by ICE serves three key functions. Number one to notify
a law enforcement agency that ICE intends to assume custody
of the alien that is in that agency's custody. Number two,
to request information from that agency about any impending release
of the agent or alien so ICE can assume custody
in a safe environment. And three to request the law
enforcement agency to maintain custody of the alien for a
period not to exceed forty eight hours beyond when he
or she would otherwise have been released. And this gives
ICE time to go get them. It says the detained
is a request and does not impose any obligations on
the law enforcement agency. Okay, so McFadden is using that
it's a request. See, it's a request, so I don't
have to do it. Why wouldn't he do it? Well?
After the last incident occurred where he released a violent
offender and ICE was unable to take them into custody
in the jail because of the sheriff's office refusal to
abide the request, he put out a big statement where
he explained how it's not his fault I mean, which
is very on brand for Gary. Not my fault McFadden.
And he says in this statement, simply deporting individuals is
not an effective solution and does not make our communities safer.
I'm going to read that again. Simply deporting individuals is
not an effective solution and does not make our community safer.
That is why he does not play well with ICE.
That's why he doesn't honor their requests. That's why he
keeps trying to find these loopholes. He can be removed
from office. I have gone over this before in the past.
State Law one twenty eight sixteen, any sheriff or police
officer shall be removed from the office by the Judge
of the Superior Court for any of the following causes
number one willful or habitual neglect or refusal to perform
the duties of his office, which I don't think they
would be able to prove that in court because he
can point to the well, it's just a request, I
don't have to do it. And number two willful misconduct
or maladministration in office, and that right there, there is
more than enough evidence to support that charge from his
personnel problems, from the toxic culture he has created there,
the jail deaths, and also this maladministration. There is a
way to get him removed before he stands for re
election again in another two years. You just have to
have the political will to do so. All right, if
you're listening to this show, you know I try to
keep up with all sorts of current events, and I
know you do too, And you've probably heard me say
get your news from multiple sources. Why well, because it's
how you detect media bias, which is why I've been
so impressed with ground News. It's an app and it's
a website, and it combines news from around the world
in one place, so you can compare coverage and verify information.
You can check it out at check dot ground dot

to scription two. I started using ground News a few
months ago and more recently chose to work with them

mentioned that there's a Senate bill. I'm calling it Gary's Law,
named after Gary, not my fault McFadden. I'm also calling
the House bill Gary's Law as well, and hopefully they
will combine the two bills and it'll be known as
Gary's Law. If I have anything to do with it,
I am going to make sure that it's referred to
as law or the McFadden Initiative, or maybe sugar Free
the sugar Free Act, because that's his Twitter handle, our
sheriff's Twitter handle. It is sugar free talk. Yeah, anyway,
the Senate bill. I don't know if you've ever read
through some of these types of bills, but they have
a lot of wear asses at the beginning of the legislation,
you know, and after they do the wearases, they do
a therefore, you know, be it so ordered, blah blah blah.
So two of the wareases I thought were sorry. Three
of the ware ases I thought, we're pretty relevant here.
Worth noting. Number one was while the federal government is
ultimately responsible for the enforcement of our nation's immigration laws,
states and local governments have a critical role to play
in upholding the rule of law, fighting illegal immigration, and
protecting the safety of our citizens. That is true law enforcement.
Local governments have a critical role to play here. Another
whereas says, you know, Trump did declare a national emergency
at the southern border of the United States, which it
seems like our sheriff is acting like that never happened,
right when there was a when there was a state
of emergency declared over COVID, Right, sheriffs, we're all about
the enforcement, right, Well we're under a state of emergency.
Well we have one now too. There was a national
emergency declared on this topic, and McFadden is acting like
it never happened. Also, I would point out that our
state attorney general, the top law enforcement officer of the state,
Jeff Jackson aka Baby Jesus, he has not touched this issue,
and I suspect he will not.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: I suspect he will not, even though he is in
a unique position to get our sheriff in his hometown
to cooperate with ICE. But he won't do it because
the Democrat Party has aligned itself with this open border's philosophy. Another,
whereas Section five of Article three of the North Carolina
Constitution charges the governor with taking care that the laws
are faithfully executed, and whereas, to date, Governor Stein has
not directed state agencies, law enforcement officers, or other agents
of the state to take actions to support or participate
in these initiatives to accomplish these goals of securing taxpayer
dollars for American and state citizens, or to prevent actions
by agencies or political subdivisions of the state that may
frust straight these purposes. Right, So, the legislation is also
calling out our governor, who was also the former state
attorney general, who also did not way into this conversation
did not try to get the handful of sheriffs, including
the one here in Meckliver County, to cooperate fully with
Ice and to honor the requests that are made to
detain violent criminal illegal aliens, because again, the Democrats' incentives
are not aligned with this kind of law enforcement and cooperation.
All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you
so much for listening. I could not do the show
