They don’t have Title VIII authority. I understand that. But what they have been instructed to do by the AG and the governor as is on their website, is to not even make the phone call to I.C.E. when they run the record and see there is a valid warrant and administrative warrant ordering deportation. That is putting the people in my state in jeopardy.”

“And if you did commit a crime, if you ordered obstruction, if you are ordering concealment and harboring, you will be charged,” she added.
