flag A Bucks County judge ruled the sheriff’s immigration enforcement deal is legal, allowing deputies to check immigration status using federal databases.

flag A Bucks County judge ruled on October 15 that Sheriff Fred Harran’s 287(g) agreement with ICE is legal, allowing select deputies to assist in immigration enforcement by accessing federal databases. flag The decision, based on the sheriff’s independent authority under state law, rejected challenges from the ACLU and advocacy groups who argued the move lacked commissioner approval and threatened civil liberties. flag The judge found plaintiffs lacked standing due to speculative harms. flag Harran called it a public safety win, while opponents vowed to appeal, warning of community distrust and racial profiling. flag The program is set to launch by the end of next week.
