Police traffic stops funnel drivers to ICE in Georgia

ICE uses local police traffic stops to identify and detain immigrants in Georgia through informal and formal partnerships. Local officers in Jefferson and Georgia State Patrol coordinate with ICE to target work vans and vehicles with multiple occupants, escalating minor traffic violations into immigration arrests. Police body camera footage reveals officers discussing strategies to identify suspected unauthorized immigrants and summon ICE to traffic stops.
