Immigrant rights groups urge sheriffs to prioritize public safety over immigration enforcement
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A coalition of immigrant rights, faith and pro-democracy organizations presented a letter with 12,000 signatures Tuesday to the National Sheriffs' Association Conference in Florida, urging them to protect public safety rather than work with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The letter urges sheriffs agencies to refrain from immigration-related issues, and stay away from what the organizers consider as the dangers of President Donald Trump's 'anti-immigrant rhetoric and harmful immigration agenda.'
