Sheriff gets go-ahead to deal with illegal immigrants - Beaufort County, South Carolina

Sheriff P.J. Tanner announced Monday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials will be training four local sheriff’s deputies to enforce federal immigration law in Beaufort County.

While training and technology costs will be covered by ICE, Tanner told Beaufort County Council members they will have to find roughly $320,000 in their budget to replace the four deputies being assigned to the new immigration task force. The council largely was congratulatory and indicated that finding the money wouldn’t be a problem.”*
