has been very helpful and encouraging. With his advice 1 am proposing the

Establishment of an Identification Review Officer at our Detention Center located in

This program will aIlo\-v us to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding that will enable us to
participate \\~th ICE in identifying criminal illegal aliens who pose a risk to the citizens of
Beaufort County. I look for\vard to your speedy endorsement of this request and moving forward
with this prog or e benefit of all.
