“Refugees welcome!” “Build the wall!” Communities—and law enforcement agencies—are being pulled in many different directions when it comes to the issue of illegal immigration. The new presidential administration has signaled a shift in federal law enforcement priorities, pressuring agencies to cooperate with ICE and DHS. At the same time, activist groups are pushing law enforcement leaders to commit to protecting undocumented immigrants and refusing to aid federal authorities enforce immigration laws.
 
With all the emotions involved, it’s easy for law enforcement leaders and patrol officers to question their policies on immigration violation. In this webinar, Chief Andrew Mills and Chief Ken Wallentine present a commonsense, legally grounded approach to immigration violations policy.
