Subject: AL Attorney James L. Stirling, Jr. speaking up re Trump's unconstitutionality
Dear Alabama State Bar President Helmsing:
I am pleased to report that Alabama attorney James L. Stirling, Jr., of Anniston, Alabama, has written the attached letter to Police Chief Johnny Summers, Level Plains City Hall, 1708 Joe Bruer Road, Daleville, Alabama 36322 Re: Constitutional and Liability Concerns Regarding Local Law Enforcement Cooperation with ICE.

James L. Stirling, Jr. letter to Chief Summers
October 31, 2025
Chief Johnny Summers
Level Plains City Hall
1708 Joe Bruer Road
Daleville, Alabama 36322
Re: Constitutional and Liability Concerns Regarding Local Law Enforcement Cooperation with ICE
Chief Summers:
I come to you today, as an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of Alabama, and as a citizen who loves his state and country. I have practiced law many years throughout the State of Alabama, and have made friendships with many peers of your local Bar. As an officer of the court, I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. When I took that oath, I took it seriously.
Recently, I read with concern a story on AL.com titled “Alabama police becoming ‘mini-immigration officers’ to help ICE enforce Trump’s crackdown.” It is my understanding that at a recent meeting of Alabama’s sheriffs in Orange Beach, ICE field agent Chris Cannon spoke to that group stating “We want to make one of your deputies, and maybe more of them, mini-immigration officers.”
I also saw recently in the news an interview you gave wherein you stated:
“We don’t want to be the big boogie man but we have got to hold people accountable. Here in Level Plains, we have had a steady growth in the population of illegal immigrants. We have had several cases including rape cases in the last few months which has become a concern of ours.”
In the above-referenced statement you made to the press, were you alleging that the rapes were attributable to undocumented workers?
And you have also been quoted as stating:
“We treat everybody fair, and we want to help everybody we can help, legal or illegal, but I mean, at some point you’ve got to help yourself, and you’ve got to follow the rules that we have sworn to uphold
Speaking of “rules [you] have sworn to uphold,” let’s consider you oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. My purpose in writing you Chief Summers is to remind you, your Mayor, your City Council and your officers that the governing law of the land is the United States Constitution. We see daily in the news that ICE is conducting unconstitutional searches and seizures. Additionally, ICE is flat out ignoring orders coming from federal judges that preclude ICE and CBP activities. Recently, a federal judge in Chicago hauled Greg Bovino into court to explain why he and his officers were blatantly violating her court order. Your engagement and cooperation with ICE/CBP places your city, government and police officers in legal jeopardy for any actions deemed to be unconstitutional. If you are not already familiar with this code section, 42 U.S.C. §1983., you may want to brush up on it. And while you are at it, you may want to brush up on the Constitution.
Recent federal court decisions have established that local law enforcement agencies may incur liability under 42 U.S.C. §1983 for detaining, or otherwise depriving individuals of liberty based solely upon ICE detainers, or administrative requests unsupported by judicial warrants. Such conduct has been found to violate the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable seizures, and the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantees of due process and equal protection. There are reports daily of ICE officers around the country denying people due process, and in some instances, shipping them to prisons in foreign countries. ICE agents are making warrantless forced entries into homes. Lawful permanent residents of the U.S. have been detained. Students have been detained solely based upon freedom of speech allowed under our Constitution. ICE is kidnapping people off the streets. They are shooting non-violent American protestors in the head with tear gas bullets, and employing other excessive force techniques during their operations. Again, this group of ICE officers are masked hiding their identities, and do not produce any form of identification when requested to do so. ICE is clearly acting as a secret police outside of our Constitution, and depriving people of rights guaranteed therein. If your officers are helping ICE, then you too could potentially be acting outside the Constitution, and depriving people of their rights.
When local officers act in cooperation with ICE without proper legal authority, such as executing civil immigration detainers, prolonging detention beyond the period authorized under state law, or sharing personal information beyond what is lawfully required, they risk transforming what would otherwise be a federal action into a local constitutional violation. Courts have repeatedly held that governmental entities, and their officers, are not shielded from liability simply because their actions were undertaken at the request of a federal agency. While federal agencies are responsible for enforcing immigration laws, municipal entities must ensure that all local law enforcement activities they conduct remain fully compliant with the U.S. Constitution, and applicable civil rights statutes.
Since you and your officers are acting as “mini” ICE agents, I respectfully request that you do the following:
1. Conduct a full legal review of any formal or informal agreements, memoranda of understanding, or operational practices between your department and ICE. If you have indeed signed what is known as a 287(g) agreement, I want a copy of same;
2. Suspend any cooperation that involves detaining individuals, collecting or sharing data, or assisting in enforcement activities not expressly required by federal or state law;
3. Adopt clear written policies ensuring that all of your operations conform strictly to constitutional standards, and that no individual is deprived of liberty without probable cause, judicial authorization and due process;
4. Save all Axon body cam footage of your officers who are conducting traffic check points, or involved in any way with ICE activities. Keep detailed records of the identities of your officers who are helping ICE, along with detailed records of the identities of ICE agents;
5. And I highly recommend that you contact your excess liability carriers to inform them of the decision the City of Level Plains has made as related to cooperation with ICE. Send your excess carrier/carriers a copy of your 287(g) agreement that you have with ICE, if you have one. I am not personally familiar with how Level Plains insures itself and its officers for liability purposes. In my experience, a number of governmental entities will self-insure up to a certain amount, then excess carrier/carriers will insure the governmental entity above what is called a self-insured retention. As an example, say that your city hypothetically self-insured for $1,000,000. After $1,000,000 is paid by the governmental entity in one occurrence of a civil rights violation, then a lot of times there will be excess carriers who under a policy/policies of insurance will be responsible for any amounts, usually millions of dollars above the entity’s self-insured retention subject to certain policy limits and provisions. If you will look at your liability policy, I am certain that you will find a clause in there that requires you to provide notice to your excess carrier for any potential claims for violation of civil rights. With the current track record of ICE’s illegal and outright unconstitutional activities against individuals in this country being publicized daily, and played out in real time on television, each and every time you and your department work with ICE against any individual (citizen or non-citizen), you potentially are violating civil rights, and subject to litigation for violation of those civil rights. Therefore, I highly recommend that you report each incident to your excess carrier. Failure to do so could put your excess coverage at risk under those policies.
6. I have carbon copied your mayor on this correspondence, and requesting that a public hearing be held for an upcoming City Council agenda so that public comment can be made related to your decision to assist ICE in its operations.
Such measures are essential not only to protect residents’ and citizens’ constitutional rights, but also to mitigate substantial litigation risk to the municipality and its officers. Please remind your officers that they can be held personally liable if they are found to be violating constitutional rights. This is not just about city assets at risk for violation of constitutional rights. This is also about each of your personal assets, homes, bank accounts, automobiles, retirement that are at risk if any of you are found to have violated people’s constitutional rights. Failure to implement any of the above could expose you, your department, your governmental entity to costly civil rights lawsuits, attorney’s fees and reputational harm.
The following is illustrative of how a governmental entity should not act with respect to people within their jurisdiction. Recent media reports have confirmed that Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch, and/or his family, decorated their home with the Halloween decorations pictured below.
First, this is racist. It reveals how an officer who has sworn an oath to the United States Constitution views people (citizens or not) within his jurisdiction who are guaranteed rights under that Constitution. This is inappropriate and inexcusable for any sheriff to act like this. We presently have a convicted felon as the Chief Executive in the White House. He believes that the Constitution I swore an oath to does not govern anything he does. In fact, he has just demolished half the White House (the People’s House) without any authority for him to do so by our Congress. He has clearly demonstrated his disregard of our Constitution, and the rights we are guaranteed therein. In time, this regime will fall, just like all authoritarian regimes eventually fall. And, when it does, I anticipate that there will be Nuremberg-like trials of many within this regime who acted illegally, and outside of our Constitution. And, the little secret police called ICE who wear masks, produce no identification when requested to do so, will face the legal consequences of their illegal and unconstitutional actions. You may want to tread lightly in your support of ICE’s endeavors.
I request that there be a public statement made by you as the Chief of Police for Level Plains stating your commitment to the U.S. Constitution, and the constitutional protections guaranteed to all persons within your jurisdiction. And again, I would like this topic addressed on an upcoming agenda of the City Council.
