    SHERIFF ENDS RELATIONSHIP WITH IMMIGRATION AND


    CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT (ICE)

    Since approximately 2003 the Butler County Sheriff’s Office has been
    under the contract with the Department of Homeland Security, Bureau
    of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to house their immigrants
    while they are awaiting immigration hearings.

    Sheriff Jones announces today that he has notified Immigration and


    Customs Enforcement (ICE) that effective immediately he will not be
    accepting any ICE detainees at the Butler County Jail and will be
    terminating the contract to house them in the future.

    “We operate an efficient correctional facility and federal officials


    continue to add unreasonable and cost prohibitive mandates to hold
    these illegal immigrants. With the crisis at the border getting worse, it
    concerns me that the feds will ship detainees to my facility, then
    release them to the streets of my community under some technicality.
    It’s better to just end this arrangement now, than to let that happen.
    Unlike this current administration, I’m still a firm believer that our
    government should strictly enforce the immigration laws and I will
    continue to promote that stance at every opportunity.
