This is Part 2 of a three-part Mountain West News Bureau series on immigration. Read Part 1 on mixed-status families and Part 3 about the potential economic impact of mass deportations.At an annual meeting of the Idaho Sheriffs’ Association, Kieran Donahue, the sheriff of rural Canyon County, Idaho, blends into a Boise conference room full of suits and cowboy hats.He said he’s heard of the plans of President-elect Donald Trump and “border czar” Tom Homan to carry out the largest deportation campaign in American history -- a campaign that will likely rely on local law enforcement officers like him.“I'm very supportive,” Donahue said – if, he qualified, the incoming administration does what it’s suggested and focuses on people with criminal records.Donahue is also the president of the National Sheriffs’ Association, representing more than 3,000 county sheriffs across the country. He thinks most are on board, even eager, to support an immigration crackdown.“Their citizens are suffering under the onslaught of the criminality, anywhere from this massive shoplifting or breaking into stores, up to ... rape and murder,” he said.However, many studies show immigrants with and without legal status commit crimes at rates lower than U.S.-born citizens. And while governors and local officials in conservative states are gearing up to collaborate with the Trump administration, Democratic-led cities and states are preparing to respond. Murphy Woodhouse / Boise State Public Radio Kieran Donahue is the sheriff of Canyon County, Idaho, and the president of the National Sheriffs Association. He thinks most of the 3,000 sheriffs the organization represents are on board with aiding President-elect Trump's plans for widespread deportations. In Colorado, for example, lawmakers are working to strengthen existing state laws that protect immigrant communities and restrict local law enforcement's involvement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Many of these policies stem from efforts by state Sen. Julie Gonzales, a Democrat who was first elected in 2018.“We realized that we had the opportunity as local community members here, as Coloradans, to push back and say, ‘You know what, ICE, you do your job, but stop using local law enforcement to do your job for you,’” she said in her office at the state capitol.The legal patchwork across the region could spark clashes with the Trump administration, as the incoming president’s immigration plan faces varying levels of support and resistance depending on the political landscape.To help or to resistWhile the federal government is responsible for civil immigration enforcement, state and local governments can play a role in how the laws are applied.Donahue said sheriffs are uniquely positioned to assist ICE because they’re directly elected by voters and not accountable to mayors or city councils. They also run county jails.Currently, Donahue's jail holds individuals arrested and suspected to be in the U.S. without proper legal status to be picked up by ICE, if federal agents request it. Local law enforcement may also inquire about someone’s immigration status and share information with ICE about immigrants without legal status charged with crimes.Donahue hopes that in President

HOLMES COUNTY, Fla. (WTVY) - It was a busy day for the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office, as like many they had to adjust their normal operations in light of the historic winter weather impacting the Deep South.In a Facebook post sent out Tuesday evening, HCSO issued a big request for drivers to keep off the roads as conditions continue to deteriorate due to the high amounts of snow and ice.They went on to point out that, at the time, they had already worked 10 separate incidents involving vehicles ending up in the ditch in a span of 45 minutes. One of those vehicles just so happened to also be one of their own deputy vehicles.“Even with all our training, these icy roads are proving to be a challenge,” Holmes County Sheriff’s Office said in the post.It’s a big reminder that no amount of training or experience can properly prepare you for weather conditions like this in an area of the country that is not normally able to prepare for such rare events to happen.As the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office went on to say, “Stay home, stay warm, and let us handle the mess out here.”Subscribe to our News 4 newsletter and receive the latest local news and weather straight to your email every morning.
