Sheriff Chapman responds to false claims about LCSO and ICE
In a letter to the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors today, Sheriff Mike Chapman addressed misinformation circulating about the Sheriff's Office and ICE:
"We do not conduct field enforcement with or on behalf of ICE, and any claim or implication to the contrary is false."
He added that LCSO is determined to protect the trust it has built with Loudoun communities — and will keep calling out efforts to use false information to undermine that trust and put public safety at risk.
The Board takes up the issue at today's business meeting.

En EEUU, un hombre contrató a varios trabajadores latinos para cercar su patio y al terminar, llamó a ICE para intentar librarse de pagarles. Pero tenían toda la documentación en regla, así que volvieron y desmontaron la valla pieza por pieza delante de él.
