Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens, on the other hand, has aligned her department more closely with federal immigration authorities.

Hutchens has been clear that her deputies will not enforce immigration laws in neighborhoods or arrest people based on their immigration status.

But the Orange County Sheriff’s Department is the only local law enforcement agency in the state to have a deal that allows sheriff’s deputies to act as ICE agents in its jails, giving them the ability to question people they suspect might be undocumented immigrants in order to determine their legal status. That information helps ICE identify undocumented immigrants who aren’t in federal databases so they can be targeted for deportation.
Thank you Sheriff Sandra Hutchens, thank you very very much.
