A New York sheriff is the first in his state to sign up for an ICE program that trains local law enforcement to vet immigration offenders and process them at the federal level.
According to ICE, the program "provides a four-week basic training program and a one-week refresher training program ... conducted by certified instructors."
The program is meant to help local police departments determine a suspect's immigration status and whether they are wanted by ICE for a previous crime.
"We want someone to prevent [an illegal immigrant] from getting out before they're recognized as being wanted," Sheriff Patrick Russo said Wednesday on "Fox & Friends."
"Cooperation amongst police agencies is paramount in providing good public safety."
Russo is a sheriff in Rensselaer County, which is located near Albany, and his decision to participate drew backlash from Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D).
"State police agencies do not and will not engage in such activity, and we are troubled that one local sheriff in the state has decided to participate," said Cuomo.

Could please fix the date. It should be 4/4/18. Thanks.
So now New York wants to join California as a colony of Mexico.
The governor is mad at a Sheriff for enforcing the law??
And then they support a lengthy special counsel to investigate a non existent crime.
Status Cuomo is a class-A communist jerk.
I am troubled by any elected official siding with illegal aliens over the citizens and the rule of law.
In the old days, a guy like Cuomo would be strung up for his anti-American/state/community actions.
The guy is a thug. Just bring in those cheap labor express individuals, and the innocent citizens who have to pay their bills and be subject to their criminality, be damned.
Can’t wait ‘till Cuomo is gone, but then another Lefty will surely be waiting in the wings to continue his treachery on these matters.
I expect Tim Howard in Erie County (Buffalo) also to snub Cuomo on this.
He certainly should.
GOOD!!!!
It’s nice to know there’s still some sanity left in NY and that someone has the guts to stand up to that wannabe dictator Cuomo.
Law enforcement “troubles” him?
Attention citizens of NYS. State Police will not help remove dangerous illegal alien criminals from the country.
Cuomo troubled that the police are following the laws?????
Be ‘troubled’ in one hand, sh!t in the other. See which one gets full first.
Hmm, a governor is “troubled” that a law enforcement officer is, in fact, enforcing the law.
Whenever a leftist is troubled it’s good for Americans.
The move to sanity begins with a single sheriff....
You got that right. He is a libtard criminal piece of garbage. He's no better than the Mafia, except he gets to commit HIS crimes legally. What a millstone he is around true prosperity for NYers, but you can't convince the huge number of LOW INFORMATION and ILLEGAL CRIMINAL INVADER voters of that.
When did it become popular for politians to ignore the laws they themselves write.
