Far-right sheriffs say they're ready to take part in Trump's mass deportations

Summary

A growing cohort of extremist and far-right sheriffs are vocally endorsing president-elect Donald Trump’s plans for mass deportations.

They promise unquestioning loyalty and say they stand ready to take part in a sweeping round-up of undocumented migrants from the first day of his new term in office.

But a WIRED investigation shows that such a scenario is virtually impossible.

Sheriff Wilmot dismisses Mack 's claims that he has held more than 100 seminars and conventions with more than 1,200 sheriffs since leaving office.

Wilmot says Mack is not in touch with sheriffs across the country and pushes his own agenda.

Mack is no stranger to sheriffs, having worked as a Border Patrol agent for almost three decades and then as acting ICE director.

Only 125 sheriff departments out of 3,081 have signed up to ICE 's 287(g) program.

Some states are trying to force sheriffs to take up the duties of immigration officers.

Some sheriffs say they're not going to be dictated to by the president-elect.
