Local Sheriffs Prepare for Expanded Deportations

News summary

As the Trump administration prepares for a significant increase in deportations, local sheriffs across the U.S. are gearing up to assist with these efforts, particularly through the controversial 287(g) program. This program allows local law enforcement to collaborate with ICE for immigration enforcement, a move welcomed by Republican officials like Ohio Sheriff Richard Jones and Maryland Sheriff Chuck Jenkins. Critics, including the ACLU, argue that such collaborations foster racial profiling and create fear within immigrant communities, while supporters maintain that enforcement only occurs for individuals already detained for other charges. In contrast, Democratic leaders have pledged not to cooperate, with some, like Denver's Mayor Mike Johnston, expressing willingness to face jail rather than assist in deportations. The incoming administration, led by border czar Tom Homan, is expected to emphasize local cooperation to enable swift deportation processes. This divide between Republican support and Democratic opposition highlights the contentious nature of immigration enforcement in the U.S.
