After Local Judge Greenlights Bucks County Sheriff-ICE Pact, Voters May Be the Last Hope to Derail It [View all]

Democratic candidate for sheriff Danny Ceisler said if elected he vows to “end this deportation partnership once and for all.”

“Just because he’s allowed to do it doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. I have opposed this partnership from the beginning … because when you scare immigrant communities from being able to report crime it makes all of us less safe,” said Ceisler. “Now we have one opportunity to end this program once and for all and that is by defeating Fred Harran on November 4.”

NAACP Bucks County, also a plaintiff, issued a statement Wednesday evening criticizing the ruling:

“While we respect the judicial process, this ruling ignores the real and lasting harm that such an agreement will have on immigrant, Black, Brown, and other marginalized communities across Bucks County. By focusing narrowly on legal standing, the court overlooked the broader constitutional and community impact of empowering local law enforcement to act as immigration agents.”
