Bill Essayli
The new U. S. Attorney in Los Angeles, Bilal Essayli, has
a radical idea that seems to be working. He has only been on the job
for six weeks, but he seems to want to actually do his job. He
acknowledges that re-entry into the U.S. after having been thrown out is
a felony. Therefore his new multi-agency task force is using the
simple expedient of combing public records in the L A County Jail system
to identify people in this situation and issuing warrants (not
detainers) for their arrest. The jails can not legally ignore the
warrants.
They expect this program will get them a pretty regular 50 customers a week from the jails.
So far, so good.
