Milwaukee County To Stop Sharing Information With ICE If No Warrant

Milwaukee County Sheriff Earnell Lucas is making his first major step away from previous policies concerning illegal immigrants.  Lucas says his department won’t hold people for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and won’t notify the federal agency when it has suspects in its jail.  The sheriff says he will provide the information if a judge signs a warrant, but he’s trying to avoid the lawsuits filed in other counties after they held inmates for ICE.  Lucas says his focus will be on incarcerating criminals, not law-abiding residents.
