Deleware Public Radio is reporting that several Delaware police agencies will not be participating in illegal immigrant sweeps.
Delaware locals like Georgetown’s Chief of Police R. L. Hughes says he personally doesn’t want his officers involved with immigration enforcement.
“Immigration is a federal – something that a federal agency should be handling,” Hughes said. “That is not for local, municipal, county and in some state- state police.”
Delaware State Police and New Castle County police – as well as police in Wilmington Elsmere, Seaford – say they aren’t involved with immigration enforcement either.
