Warren County Sheriff Barry Riley is objecting to the U.S. government putting this historically Republican portion of southwestern Ohio on a new list of “sanctuary jurisdictions” for immigration enforcement that could make it ineligible for federal funding.

The list was published last week, about a month after President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security to create a list of jurisdictions obstructing federal immigration laws. These jurisdictions would risk their federal funds being terminated or suspended.
