Dear Ms. Skinner:

As of 12:01am October 15,2009 the Cumberland County Sheriff's

Office, Fayetteville, North Carolina, is no longer participating in
the detention portion of the 287(g) program.

Our detention facility is currently reaching capacity most days

and we are close to a significant population increase as Ft.
Bragg goes through the military BRAC Program. Of great concern
to me, as well, was a considerable amount of language in the ICE
submitted MOA that I could not accept as a Sheriff and local
governmental official. Finally, the copy I received was so very
close to the deadline set that the time frame was woefully short
of a reasonable period to contemplate a document of such
importance.

Sincerely,

~IU?~
