Frederick County, Maryland, Sheriff Chuck Jenkins slammed the “self-aggrandizing” comments made by Frederick Mayor Michael O’Connor who said that he would fight President-elect Donald Trump‘s immigration plans of mass deportations by providing legal funds to migrants.

“Like many of you, I understand the uncertainty that a Trump presidency brings,” O’Connor said in a press conference on Nov. 21. “We refuse to aid and abet outside agencies attempting to detain, deport, or remove any residents from our community.”
