QUESTION OF THE DAY: Are you happy to see local police take part in immigration operations?
Matthew Sanders
Holts Summit police made it public this week — the department’s officers cooperated with federal authorities in an immigration enforcement operation that led to three arrests.
Details were scarce on the Homeland Security operation — the local government referred questions to the federal government, which provided no answers. However, it’s part of an enhanced immigration enforcement effort that is taking place across the country.
Some argue local police have no place in immigration enforcement. Others think they’re vital.
