Checking legal status not pricey, sheriff says – Frederick County, Maryland From: gazette.net
Tagged: MarylandPosted on: May 8th, 2008
Sheriff Chuck Jenkins is disputing a report released Tuesday that places an annual price tag of $3.2 million on a program that allows his deputies to check the immigration status of everyone arrested in Frederick County.
‘‘Much of it is not factual information,” said Jenkins (R) on Wednesday. ‘‘The costs are absolutely not true. … I absolutely dispute it.”
Jenkins stands by his claim that his department’s participation in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement program will cost county taxpayers nothing extra. ‘‘There are no significant costs,” he said.”*
