”Sheriffs and their offices play a key role in maintaining and advancing mass incarceration, mass deportation, and White supremacy.” In this 101, PRA’s Ethan Fauré gives an overview of the organizations and people pushing the far-right sheriff movement. politicalresearch.org/2022/07/29/1....

Far-Right Sheriffs and The Anti-immigrant movement FROM 101:Far-Right Sheriffs BY Ethan Fauré
Anti-immigrant organizations like the Federation for American Immigration Reform, the Immigration Reform Law Institute, Center for Immigration Studies, and NumbersUSA were created or nurtured by White nationalist John Tanton.
These organizations are: influencing federal immigration policy through legislation and media; coordinating with sheriffs sympathetic to their draconian policy ideals by leveraging the sheriffs’ position as local elected officials to erroneously suggest popular support for their agenda; actively lobbying other sheriffs; and coordinating with sheriffs’ associations to organize national conferences, border tours, and other events with the goal of expanding the system of mass deportation’s reach in local communities.
