A North Carolina sheriff on Tuesday told his county’s leaders criminal immigrants are “raping our citizens in many, many ways,” according to a video posted to YouTube.

Terry Johnson made the comment while asking Alamance County Board of Commissioners to add $2.8 million in federal funding to his budget to house inmates for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Marshals Service.

“The people that we’re trying to hold here are criminal illegal immigrants that is actually raping our citizens in many, many ways,” Johnson said in a meeting video the county posted on YouTube.

“I am asking commissioners tonight to look after my detention officers and make it available to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement to hold ICE inmates that has: One, violated the law when they crossed the border, and two come into the United States and victimized our citizens,” he added.
