For some California sheriffs, it's not politics stopping them from fully helping ICE: It's the legal risk
Joel Rubin and Paloma Esquivel Contact Reporters
Adam Christianson makes no bones about helping federal immigration agents nab people for deportation.
The three-term sheriff of Stanislaus County, east of the Bay Area, gives agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement unfettered access to his jails, where they interview inmates and scroll through computer databases.
The information allows the agents to find and take custody of people they suspect of living in the country illegally before they are released from jail.
There is a line, however, Christianson won’t cross.
