Montgomery County Council: No need for immigration training

Immigration enforcement training for county police officers might be a popular notion in some Northern Virginia jurisdictions, but not so for their neighbors across the Potomac River.

Montgomery County Council members stood united at a town meeting in Derwood against pursuing such training under federal program 287(g), in which U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement trains local law enforcement to conduct residency status checks of crime suspects that could lead to deportations.
