Southern UTAH -- Law enforcement officers along southern Utah's busy illegal immigrant smuggling corridors are calling for more attention from the federal agency tasked with interior immigration enforcement.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement says it is taking steps to bolster interior enforcement in southern Utah, in part by adding a new agent in St. George, and is considering creating a supervisory position there.
But St. George Police Chief Marlon Stratton said he'd like to see 10 more agents in the 21,000-square-mile region that encompasses seven counties.
"The bottom line is we need help from ICE," he said.
