A Pennsylvania county has ended its “sanctuary” status for illegal aliens as the nation’s fentanyl crisis has hit the community, spilling over from the United States-Mexico border.

Officials in Butler County, Pennsylvania — which has consistently voted Republican in the last few election cycles — have ended the area’s sanctuary county status that helped keep illegal aliens from being arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Sounds a bit pre textual, perhaps to avoid Florida or Texas from sending some illegals for them to harbor

Butler is no longer a “sanctuary county” for illegal immigrants after a vote yesterday by the county’s prison board....... the vote was unanimous among the board.

The country jail is in Butler.....therefore the county prison board clarified its relationship with Immigration's and Customs Enforcement, or ICE........ The policy reads that the Butler County Prison will accept ICE detainers that include a warrant, the prison will send a list of inmates to ICE on a weekly basis, and ICE will be permitted access to the facility and inmates as appropriate.

( Butler does pride itself as being a city of law and order - the country had been clustered with several other counties and why it was initially designated as it was... the public objected fiercely being grouped in with the other counties at that time.)

Counties should check what CIS lists them as........CIS does NOT list Pennsylvania as a sanctuary state, but lists 17 counties as sanctuary counties.

In Western Pennsylvania, Allegheny and Westmoreland counties are on the list. Butler County was on the list until Tuesday when it was removed.

Duh. People laugh at Biden and Kamala Harris for being morons when we have mayors and governors equally as dumb, stupid, and clueless that it takes a catastrophe to wake them up.

The Feds might wake up when they discover ISIS, China and a variety of foreign terrorists have dumped barrels of fentanyl into our reservoirs.

Why does this make a difference? The gang working Joey’s head made the whole country a sanctuary country.

I am shocked.
I had no idea Butler Co. was a sanctuary county.
A rural county that hosted a rally with PDJT, that brought in 75,000 Patriots.

Butler? Not a big surprise.

Something closer to Philly or Pittsburgh would have been a surprise.

But.... baby steps.

The entire Democrat party is dumb, stupid, and crazy. Even down to dogcatcher. But they are very clever at sloganeering and winning elections.
