Belmont County Ohio police discover 20 illegal Mexican immigrants inside a van, including three who were previously deported [which makes them felons under the law]. Immigration officials were contacted and ordered the officers to release all 20.
Belmont County Sheriff Fred Thompson said that his department had no choice but to follow the orders from immigration officials.

first time getting caught crossing the border is a misdemeanor, being deported and returning is a felony.
The catch and release policy may be good for fishing, however, it makes a mockery out of the legal system.

That's twice I've heard that story.
what happened to 'we're all on the same side'? I'm tired of 'it's not my job.'
I think that the issue here is that the Sheriff's Department was order to release wanted felons who just happened to be Mexicans
