Minnesota Sheriff Pushes Back After State Questions ICE Partnership
A Minnesota sheriff is pushing back after the state’s attorney general questioned his office’s partnership with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Mille Lacs County Sheriff Kyle Burton says his agreement under the federal 287(g) program is legal and focused on public safety, despite claims from Attorney General Keith Ellison that the deal lacks proper authorization.
The dispute highlights a growing conflict between state leadership and local law enforcement over immigration enforcement, authority, and cooperation with federal agencies.
This is a developing story.
