Bucks County Sheriff Fred Harran has denounced what he is describing as "Holocaust-era language" used against him amid growing opposition to his proposal for a partnership with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Harran, the only Jewish sheriff in Pennsylvania, released a statement this week calling the rhetoric used to criticize him "deeply offensive" as he continues to receive challenges to his department's application to join the federal 287(g) program, which allows local law enforcement to perform limited immigration enforcement duties under ICE supervision.
