Fox News honors Frederick Co Sheriff Charles Jenkins as one
of America's Top 10 Toughest Immigration Sheriffs
America's Top 10 'Toughest' Immigration Sheriffs
These top lawmen may not be household names, but they're
vocal, vigilant and very determined to rid their counties of illegal
immigrants. Here's a look at some of the
country's most outspoken anti-immigration advocates and some of their more
significant actions:
Sheriff Charles Jenkins, Frederick County, Maryland
A lifelong resident of Frederick County, Md., Charles
Jenkins initiated the controversial 287(g) Immigration Enforcement Program
shortly after he was elected in 2006, becoming the first law enforcement
official in Maryland to do so. The program, which some say leads to racial
profiling, trains deputies to check the immigration status of individuals they
arrest and has turned over at least 650 illegal immigrants in the county to
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for deportation hearings since its
inception. Jenkins told "Maryland Sheriff" magazine last year that
the program is the "single best thing" that any lawman could do to
keep their citizens safe. He also testified before Congress in March 2009 on
the importance of local enforcement of immigration laws. (Frederick County
