More resistance

And kudos to Sheriff Wiles. Police officers are not qualified to handle these situations. Nor should they be used.

A sheriff in El Paso has ordered his deputies to not work at a tent city for detained migrant children in Tornillo, Texas.

“The Sheriff’s Office will not be working at these facilities, as we don’t support the current administration’s position of separating children simply to discourage illegal immigration,” Sheriff Richard Wiles told Texas Monthly.

Wiles told the publication that federal officials asked him to provide off-duty deputies to work at the facility near El Paso, but that he turned down the offer.

“I just thought that if the citizens saw that we were working there in an off-duty capacity, it may be [seen] as if we were approving of the administration’s policy, and it would hurt our relationship with the community that we serve,” he said.
