Immigration Agents: Enforcement and Kern County

immigration agents: The administration started publishing the report weekly last month after Trump issued an executive order aimed at encouraging local police to help federal immigration agents trying to carry out deportations, according to Metro News. It listed jurisdictions that had been deemed unco-operative . Kern County, a vast rural agricultural expanse north of Los Angeles, ended up on one of the lists. Several local law enforcement agencies had complained that information in the reports was inaccurate and unfairly targeted them including some jurisdictions supportive of Trump's immigration enforcement efforts. But Sheriff Donny Youngblood said targeting his law enforcement agency was wrong because federal agents have access to his county's jail and its data. So he complained to federal immigration officials. Being placed on the federal list prompted calls from angry residents of the largely conservative area, Youngblood said. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
