Loudoun, Virginia -- Loudoun County Sheriff Stephen O. Simpson said yesterday that he is considering whether to enroll some officers in a federal program that would train them to enforce U.S. immigration laws.
His department is the second Northern Virginia law enforcement agency to express interest in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's "287 (g)" program this week. On Tuesday, Herndon Police Chief Toussaint E. Summers Jr. asked the Town Council to apply to federal authorities for enrollment; it is scheduled to discuss the proposal Tuesday.
