That's an entirely different matter to immigration enforcement!

How so? Immigration enforcement is a federal law. They can't make state and local LEO's enforce federal laws for them.

So if someone's been released from jail, the federal government can't make the local officials hold onto that guy on their behalf. He is no longer subject to being incarcerated under state/local law, and the state is under no obligation to use their resources to hold onto him solely to help the feds enforce immigration law. They don't have to let the feds use their facilities, their jails, their officers to keep the guy locked up just so it's easier for the feds to grab him.
