ACLU vows to act as sheriffs watchdog in immigration enforcement – Butler County, Ohio
Tagged: Ohio, policePosted on: December 15th, 2006“The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio has pledged to act as watchdog of Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones in the wake of his announcement Wednesday that he is in the process of gaining federal immigration law enforcement powers.
Although Jones claimed earlier this week to have the ability to enforce those laws, that authority is contingent on local deputies being trained by the U.S. Department of Homeland Securitys Immigration and Custom Enforcement Office and the execution of a document that would outline those powers and how local police are to work under the supervision of ICE, department officials said.”
