[Daily Caller] A sheriff from California’s Central Valley is digging in his heels against the spread of sanctuary cities and counties across the state.Far from limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood wants to ensure that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have continued access to his jails so they can identify and deport illegal alien felons.
Youngblood plans to ask the Kern County Board of Supervisors to adopt a resolution that would declare Kern a "law and order" county and not a "sanctuary" county, the Los Angeles Times reported.
"Sheriff’s deputies don’t enforce immigration laws and we don’t go on federal immigration sweeps, but we do have to allow our federal partners to do their job," Youngblood told the LA Times.
