A new state law will require most counties to sign one of these agreements by January. So far, about 150 counties have already complied, including Bear. But Sheriff Javier Salazar says their program will look very different from DPS's. >> So if you see a patrol car driving by, says Bear County Sheriff on the side of it, rest assured that deputy is not there to enforce immigration laws. That deputy is there to help. >> Ah, yes. Sheriff Javier Salazar wants everyone to rest easy because Beay County is only using the jail enforcement model. Translation: Don't worry folks, we're only doing immigration enforcement after you're arrested. The patrol deputy driving by, totally harmless. Pinky promise. And let's be honest, every single 287G abuse scandal in the last decade started with a sheriff saying the exact same thing. It's just the jail model. Nothing to see here. right up until mission creep kicks in and suddenly that patrol deputy who isn't part of this program starts asking questions anyway. And you already know when law enforcement gets new power with no transparency, the first thing they test is the limit. The second thing they test is you. So no, the public shouldn't feel reassured because a sheriff slapped a label on the program. A 287g agreement is a door. And in policing, once the door exists, they always find someone to walk through it.
