Mucho importatante front page Standard-Examiner news to gnaw on today. According to this morning's S-E hard-copy edition front page story, the Weber County Sheriff's Office, which feels jilted since the feds "sprang" all Immigration ICE "civil detention prisoners" from the Weber County Hoosegow... is lashing out, via the Utah Sheriff's Union.
Yesiree, it definitely hurts when the feds yank away scores of federal "civil rights datainees", especially when it will cost cost Weber County taxpayers $millons in the "long run".
Sodden query: Even assuming that the Weber County Jail is or isn't abiding by the terms of their their "ICE" contract, should the feds be warehousing these people ("civil detainees") in county jails anyway, in the first place?

The simple answer is "NO"
It's all about money.
The county wants the prisoners for the money.
The federal bureaucrats want the prisoners so they can hire people and have a larger organization, ie more money.
Nobody cares about the public.
The system is indescribably corrupt.
Maybe this is what the federal government has in mind Maybe this is what the government has in mind for these "civil detainees":Halliburton Detention Camps For Political Subversives

It is unclear from the article if the Weber jail was singled out for violations or is just one of many cited. Were the conditions changed from the previous sheriff's policy or is this part of a nationwide review of jail conditions?
The issue boils down to the agreement (contract) that Weber County Jail signed with ICE in regards to the holding of these detainees. Weber County is crying foul because it can't or won't live up to the terms of that agreement. That is not an appropriate response. They either need to meet the terms or realize that the reason detainees are being removed is due to their inability to live up to the terms of the agreement.
Saying they are being treated unfairly is absurd.
