Executive Board Session (J. Kendall)

Executive Summary:

Introduction
The document is an email from Jacquelyn Kendall to the Board of Commissioners of Leelanau County, expressing concern over statements made by the county sheriff about assisting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in their “immigrant round-ups.”

Concern Over Sheriff’s Involvement with ICE
Kendall argues that the sheriff’s role is to protect the safety of the county, not to help a federal agency target vulnerable individuals. She states that these individuals are the community’s friends and neighbors, some of whom are already afraid to go about their daily lives. Kendall believes the county sheriff should not be involved in the persecution of community members.

Conclusion
Kendall concludes the email by thanking the Board of Commissioners for their consideration of her concerns.
