Minnesota DOC disputes DHS-ICE detainer tallies, cites lower local count

Minnesota’s Department of Corrections held a news conference to challenge DHS/ICE figures, saying a state review found only 301 ICE detainers in Minnesota custody (94 in county jails and 207 in state prisons) versus DHS’s claim of more than 1,360, and accusing ICE of not providing data or a clear methodology. DOC notes some cases DHS labeled as releases involved transfers to ICE or were not in Minnesota custody, and reiterates that detainers are ICE’s decision; the department is asking DHS to share verifiable data for specific cases.

Controversial Actions of Prison Officials and Judges in South Carolina

A former prison guard, Asia Love, who is named in documents detailing a convicted killer's early release, tried to visit him in prison after retiring, posing as his sister, but her request was denied. Love is mentioned in additional supporting documents related to the killer's release, and in 2019, she wrote that Officer Sally Fowler wanted the killer to "receive an award" for "saving her life." The killer helped the Department of Corrections by putting them on "notice" about a dangerous inmate who had escaped. The state attorney general is asking the South Carolina Supreme Court for a bench warrant to put the killer back in prison.
