PRESS RELEASE: Kit Carson County Sheriff

(As posted on Kit Carson County Sherriff's Office Facebook Page)

PRESS RELEASE

It was brought to my attention that Kit Carson County along with 40 other counties across the state were listed on the Sanctuary County list released by the Department of Homeland Security. I don't know what criteria DHS used to compile this list or where they received their information but I was not conferred with on the development, criteria or purpose of the list. I have not had any contact with DHS regarding compliance with Immigration Laws or their Agents.

Kit Carson County is in no way a sanctuary County. I will cooperate with federal agents as allowed by the laws of the state, as will most Sheriff's..

Sheriff Travis Belden
