In a recent live of The StoneZONE, Roger Stone and co-host Troy Smith, editor-in-chief of Slingshot.news, engaged in a comprehensive discussion with former Graham County, Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack, founder and president of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA). The conversation centered on the pivotal role that America’s sheriffs could play in supporting federal efforts to deport violent illegal immigrants, particularly in light of President Trump’s announced intentions to enhance immigration enforcement.
Sheriff Mack emphasized the constitutional authority vested in county sheriffs, asserting that they possess the jurisdiction to uphold federal immigration laws within their counties. He highlighted the potential for collaboration between local law enforcement and federal agencies, such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), to effectively address the challenges posed by violent illegal immigrants.
The discussion also touched upon the legal implications for local and state officials who may attempt to obstruct federal immigration enforcement. Roger Stone referenced statements by former ICE Director Tom Homan, indicating that officials who hinder federal efforts could face legal consequences under Title 8, U.S.C. 1324, which pertains to the harboring and shielding of illegal aliens.
This dialogue underscores the ongoing debate regarding the balance between federal authority and local jurisdiction in immigration enforcement. It also highlights the critical role that sheriffs may play in the broader strategy to enhance public safety and uphold the rule of law.
