Sheriff defies ‘un-American’ deep blue state sanctuary laws, tell ICE to ‘put me on speed dial’

Sheriff Bob Songer of Klickitat County in Washington state is making headlines for his bold stance on immigration enforcement. While many leaders in the state are doubling down on sanctuary policies and refusing to cooperate with federal authorities, Songer is pledging his full support to ICE.

In a recent video posted on the Klickitat County Sheriff’s Office’s official Facebook page, Songer criticized the Biden administration for allowing the country to be “invaded” and publicly vowed to help ICE enforce immigration law. This puts him at odds with Washington’s sanctuary laws, which prohibit law enforcement from assisting federal authorities in enforcing immigration laws.

Despite the potential backlash from other law enforcement authorities and Democratic Governor Bob Ferguson, Songer remains steadfast in his support for federal immigration enforcement. After 56 years in law enforcement and currently serving his third term as sheriff, he believes it is his duty to protect American citizens and prevent criminals from entering the country illegally.

Songer explained that illegal immigrants often pass through Klickitat County and receive government benefits paid for by taxpayers. He believes that cooperating with ICE is the right thing to do and is committed to standing up against sanctuary policies that protect serious criminals.

In response to criticisms that not all illegal immigrants should be arrested and deported, Songer emphasized that crossing the border without legal representation is a crime under federal law. He believes that the government should prioritize the needs of U.S. citizens, including veterans and the homeless, over those who enter the country illegally.

Despite Washington state’s sanctuary status, Songer remains unwavering in his support for federal immigration enforcement. He has made it clear that he is willing to cooperate with ICE and assist in any way he can to uphold the law and protect the citizens of Klickitat County.

In conclusion, Songer’s bold stance on immigration enforcement highlights the ongoing debate surrounding sanctuary policies in Washington state. While some may criticize his actions, Songer remains committed to upholding the law and ensuring the safety of his community.
