confusing in honey brook: 287(g) or no 287(g) constable jones?

The other day so many of us saw the Claudia Vargas’ report on NBC10 on 287(g) contracts:

So one of the subjects is PA Constable David Jones, Sr. f Honey Brook Township.

Yesterday Mayor Matt Halvorsen (and is this the same guy from West Goshen Sewer Authority?) released a statement:

So the NBC10 reports states Constable Jones hasn’t heard from the Feds? So why is there still a contract?

I wouldn’t have asked the question were it not for some online commentary including from one of the Thug Life of Honey Brook Township:

And then that conversation got picked up by Patch:

HONEY BROOK, PA — A Pennsylvania State Constable’s office based in Chester County is one of the only law enforcement agencies in eastern Pennsylvania who has signed an agreement to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.

State Constable David Jones, located in Honey Brook, has signed the 287g agreement, a voluntary partnership with ICE that gives him the ability to identify and arrest individuals for immigrations offenses.

Jones represents one of only two law enforcement agencies in the five-county Philadelphia region to sign on to the agreement….Jones has faced recent intense scrutiny for the agreement.

“Does everyone here know that you signed an agreement with ICE and that it has been approved for Honey Brook Area?” Honey Brook Township Democratic Committee Person Marion Perez wrote on his Facebook page. “Do people also know that you can dissolve the agreement at anytime, if you choose to do so? What I would like to know, since you have been vague with me, is can there be some transparency about what you are doing and who is supporting you in the Honey Brook area, concerning turning our town into a circus?”

Jones responded, but did not address her questions.

“Mrs. Perez if we need to have a conversation you can email or direct message me to discuss further,” he wrote. “I am not sure what you’re implying when you stated ‘you have been vague with me.’ I don’t believe we have ever met before.”

Patch has reached out to Jones for comment on the 287g agreement.

Well dayummmn is he a little bit country or a little bit rock and roll?

Lordy is he doing a contract or not? If he isn’t, why is the contract online?
