Lawrence County Sheriff Max Sanders told News 19 how it will work and what their role will look like when needed. 'When they get arrested, they'll be placed in the Lawrence County Jail. If we think they may have a warrant against them, then we notify immigration, and we will hold them until they come to pick them up,' Sheriff Sanders said. 'There, I'll be someone serving warrants, if they have a warrant that is active for someone, they can send it to us and serve those warrants, or if someone is in the jail and has a detainer on them, we'd be able to follow that warrant through,' Oliver said. Both Sheriff Max Sanders and Sheriff Shannon Oliver said they are solely focused on violent criminals. 'They range from murder all the way down to child sex crimes and sex crimes of that nature and drug trafficking, and those are some of the things that we don't hear because it makes problems for the good people who are here trying to do the right thing,' Oliver said. The Lawrence and Franklin County Sheriff's Offices will undergo training as part of the program. Both agencies also said they only have one or two violent persons a year whose immigration status would draw ICE's attention. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
