| Mississippi DA bill would pay bounty hunters a reward to help facilitate deportation of illegal immigrants |

| [FoxBusinessNews] If passed, the legislation would create the Illegal Alien Certified Bounty Hunter Program Matthew Barton, a Mississippi district attorney, is proposing a bill that would pay bounty hunters for assistance in deporting illegal immigrants. Under the terms of House Bill 1484, the state would create the Mississippi Illegal Alien Certified Bounty Hunter Program, which would pay a $1,000 reward to registered bounty hunters for each successful deportation they facilitate. "This legislation is about keeping Mississippi communities safe," said Republican state Rep. Justin Keen, who authored the bill. "We’ve seen firsthand the danger posed by bad actors and violent criminals who enter this country illegally, like the innocent life of Laken Riley," he added. "President Trump’s administration has made it clear that deporting illegal immigrants is a priority, and we are proud to do our part here in Mississippi to help support his agenda and protect our citizens." Funding for the proposed program would come from the general assembly and be administered by the state treasurer. The intention, Keen said, is to encourage collaboration between law enforcement and private citizens in identifying illegal immigrants in the state. It would also alleviate financial burdens on Mississippi taxpayers, who bear the costs of illegal immigration, a press release states. The bill comes as the Trump administration continues to tout tougher policies to combat illegal migration into the United States, as well as crime. Federal immigration authorities have made hundreds of arrests this week of illegal immigrants with criminal histories. "When President Trump took office this week, he immediately recognized the emergency at our borders, rolling out executive orders to combat illegal immigration and cartels," DeSoto County District Attorney Matthew Barton said in a statement. "This legislation builds upon that foundation, empowering local leaders and communities to support federal efforts in protecting our citizens." "Legal immigration is a cornerstone of America, and we must ensure that our borders are secure and that the safety of Mississippians comes first," Barton continued Related: Mississippi: 2025-01-17 Yesterday's News, er...

| #2 I can already see the STAGED scenario. Where the Open Borders type film a video acting like Bounty Hunters. They post a staged video of a detention of a Hispanic looking female and baby. Then release her and her baby per the video written script, after she proves they are US Citizens. |
