Police Chief Charlie T. Deane emphasized yesterday that county police have nothing to do with enforcing immigration laws.
The new procedure, considered to be a first in the country for combining local and federal enforcement, began March 3.Twenty-one of those identified as illegal immigrants were not charged with local law violations and were released, Chief Deane said.
