LAWRENCEVILLE — Starting Monday, the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Department will begin its limited enforcement of federal immigration laws.

The 287(g) program — named after the section of immigration law that governs it — has been in the works in Gwinnett since Sheriff Butch Conway applied for it in March 2008.
