MISSOURI -- Gov. Matt Blunt addressed Missouri law enforcement officers at a summit designed to equip them with tools needed to fight immigration. Missouri is the first in the nation to host summits specifically targeted at providing local law enforcement access to state and federal immigration tools, information and resources.
“Missourians welcome legal immigrants,” Blunt said, “but we will not tolerate illegals who blatantly disobey our laws.”
The recent ICE ACCESS summit is the third in a series of nine statewide law enforcement summits in Missouri taking place over the next couple of weeks. The collaborative summits hosted by the Missouri State Highway Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are the first of their kind in the nation.
