Lancaster County Sheriff Terry Wagner releases a statement on President Trump's executive orders on immigration policies.
The statement says to "keep in mind executive orders pertain to agencies of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government, not state, and local government.
The Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office acknowledges that immigration enforcement is the responsibility of federal law enforcement.
With limited exceptions, (287(g) program) local law enforcement has no authority to enforce Immigration violations.
The Sheriff’s Office is involved in several Task Forces with our Federal partners.
Just as our Federal partners come to our assistance when needed, LSO will provide assistance if requested and will cooperate within the scope of our legal authority and responsibilities."
