Sheriff Jones' Escort Service

Everyone, we can sleep secure in our beds again. The ACLU of Ohio has pledged to be a watchdog of Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones. All this, because he announced he is in the process of getting federal immigration law enforcement powers. It is contingent on his deputies being trained by ICE and executing a document outlining how local police will work under ICE's supervision.

The ACLU wants copies of any agreement between ICE and the sheriff because "Sheriff Jones has already demonstrated hostility towards the Hispanic population in Butler County," ACLU of Ohio Staff Attorney Carrie Davis said. "It is important to review the document and discern what he can and cannot do under this agreement and ensure he stays within those boundaries."

What is it about enforcing our laws that so infuriates the ACLUnatics? Why do they interpret law enforcement as racist?

In Warren County Commissioners Mike Kilburn, Pat South and Dave Young have agreed to pursue the same powers. Kilburn said that he thinks it's ridiculous that wanting to enforce laws is often criticized as mean-spirited or racist. Your right, Mr. Kilburn, but that's not the way the ACLU wants to spin it.

Kilburn states it as it is. "Look, this is the United States of America. We welcome immigrants. We welcome people from other countries who want to come here. But we expect them to do it legally," he said. "Folks that are here illegally are going to be escorted out."

Sheriff Jones just wants to be the escort service and I thank him for it.
