An interesting note: With all of the attention from the recent election that is being paid to sanctuary cities, I was very confused. I began some online research. I went to Google and was amazed at what I found.

It seems that there are not only sanctuary cities, but counties, too. Coos County is one of them (only seven Oregon counties are not). As of April 14, 2016, the sheriff's department made the decision that it will not honor ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) detainee orders without a court order or warrant. I found a quote by Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California proclaiming that the local jurisdiction must cooperate with federal authorities if federal authorities ask them to hold an individual. Many of us recall the tragic shooting of Kathryn Steinle in San Francisco by an undocumented immigrant who had been convicted of a felony and deported five times, the federal authorities were not informed of his release from jail because she was in a sanctuary city.

I was hoping that maybe The World newspaper could do some better research than I for the citizens of the county, as I'm understanding that any jurisdiction that does not comply with the mandated orders under the Trump administration will most likely be loosing federal funding, and since we are already short of funds, that would probably not be a good thing to have happen. Thank you.
