Governor Lamont's 2019 policy totally prohibits state and local law enforcement from transferring any individual who's been convicted of a class c, d, or e felony including manslaughter, sexual abuse, or stealing a firearm, and removing them from the state.

Overstated

Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific claim about the content and scope of a named 2019 policy — the characterization that it 'totally prohibits' transfers of convicted felons including violent offenders is verifiable against the actual policy text and could be overstated or inaccurate.
What we foundThe core factual effect on Class C, D, and E felony convictions is accurate, but the claim overstates by attributing the policy solely to Governor Lamont and by describing it as a total prohibition on transfer rather than a restriction on ICE detainer compliance.
