She suggested sheriffs often can and do operate independently from what state officials direct them to do.
"Pretty likely" most of the nation’s 3,000+ sheriffs are willing to assist ICE in their deportation efforts because they and their counties support Trump, she said.
“That is 1000% illegal,” Bonta said. "They all have to follow the law.”
Sheriffs don't have that power, Pritzker said, but "they like to meet with one another & convince each other that they do." 😂 https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-mass-deportations-democratic-governors_n_67337941e4b07ebab742991a
“They will militarize the execution of arrests to strike the most fear in migrant communities," warned Jason Houser, a former chief of staff at ICE.
Pritzker and Gov. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) are leading a new group, Governors Safeguarding Democracy, that connects Dem govs with legal experts to ensure they're protecting residents’ democratic rights.
“That is 1000% illegal,” Bonta said. "They all have to follow the law.”
Well that's that then. No one would break a law.
Do not trust.

Sheriffs are a HUGE problem. They can deputize mobs of armed MAGAts.
