Rensselaer County Sheriff Patrick A. Russo has agreed to work with federal immigration authorities. Rensselaer County is a former steel town built by Irish and Italian immigrants. Sheriff Russo became one of 75 counties to help the federal immigration authorities with raids. He has been in local law enforcement for 43 and he’s a Republican who believes by participating he is making the country safe again. Alphonso David, the chief counsel to Governor Cuomo expressed that, “State police agencies do not and will not engage in such activity, and we are troubled that one local sheriff in the state has decided to participate,”
Under the program, Ice will train two staff corrections officers to identify, interrogate and turn over inmates and those who are awaiting criminal trial for being in the country illegally.
