Just a little update on this sidebar. Sheriffs don't like it.
“The list violated the core principles of trust, cooperation, and partnership with fellow law enforcement,” the National Sheriffs’ Association said. “This decision by DHS could create a vacuum of trust that may take years to overcome.”
“DHS has done a terrible disservice to President Trump and the Sheriffs of this country,” said Sheriff Kieran Donahue of Canyon County, Idaho, president of the association. “The President’s goals to reduce crime, secure the Borders, and make America safer have taken a step backward. The sheriffs of this country feel betrayed.”
Noem, however, doubled down, blaming the cities. “Some of the cities have pushed back,” she said. “They think because they don’t have one law or another on the books that they don’t qualify, but they do qualify. They are giving sanctuary to criminals.”
[But now that statement is inoperable, as the list has been sent to the memory hole.]
