[MtVernonOpticHerald] State police stop a vehicle on the interstate for suspected drug smuggling. Find 18 Guatemalans instead. Dump them onto local Sheriff. Immigration comes and consents to take three for prosecution, instructs the Sheriff to release the rest. They speak no English, have no money, and have questionable if any ID. Sheriff is reasonably concerned that following instructions puts both the community and the illegal immigrants at risk. What to do?
