Lieutenant Colonel Allen West sits down with Sheriff Michael Brockett of Curry County, New Mexico, and Sheriff Jason Mikesell of Teller County, Colorado, to discuss the growing conflict between state governments and local law enforcement over immigration enforcement.

Sheriff Brockett describes how New Mexico’s Attorney General put sheriffs on notice not to participate in the 287(g) program, even as bail reform sends offenders back onto the streets before paperwork is processed.

Sheriff Mikesell details an eight-year battle with the ACLU and Colorado’s progressive legislature, including a state-created fund that uses fines against officers to finance further lawsuits against law enforcement.

The conversation covers how Colorado went from one of the lowest crime rates to one of the highest, the explosion of cartel activity after states blocked cooperation with ICE, and the constitutional implications when states refuse to follow federal law while demanding counties follow state law.
