On Monday March 30, 2009 roughly 300 citizens of Guilford County met with Sheriff BJ Barnes to engage in a community dialogue regarding Section 287 (g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Section 287 (g) "allows the performance of immigration officer functions by state officers and employees" including detaining those suspected to be without valid legal status.
