Sheriff previously pledged not to assist ICE in county where nursing student was murdered
After the Athens-Clarke County mayor insisted that the community where nursing student Laken Riley was murdered by an alleged illegal immigrant was not a sanctuary city, residents pointed to the sheriff who campaigned on not cooperating with ICE.
A resurfaced video from 2020 appears to show then-candidate John Williams, who is now the Athens-Clark County sheriff, stating that he would not cooperate with ICE.
"It is not my intention to cooperate with detainers," Williams told a reporter from the Athens Politics Nerd. "I see it as the sheriff's responsibility to protect the community. We can't help with a culture of fear in our community and expect our community to respond and help us in situations."
While campaigning, Williams promised that he would not be "contributing" to a "culture of fear."...
...."We want people to respect the police, but we also want them to trust us," he added.
The sheriff's past comments were brought up after angry Georgia residents interrupted Athens Mayor Kelly Girtz on Wednesday morning as he held a news briefing on the city's plan to increase public safety.
Protesters interrupted him as he attempted to dismiss "the notion of a sanctuary city."
"You're a liar," one man shouted, repeatedly. "You're the one who is guilty and got blood on your hands for this murder, sir!"....
=====================
So the Sheriff doesn't want to help remove killers from our country. Biden allowed this illegal immigrant to run around in the US committing crimes until he bashed the head in of a girl that was on her way to being a very productive citizen. And Libratards want to give people like him sanctuary.
I hope some nurse starts the IV on him they use to execute him with.
