Spike in Illegal Immigration Overwhelms Sheriffs; Families Exposed to Gang, Drug Violence
















Local law enforcement agencies nationwide are overwhelmed with criminal activity linked to a huge increase in illegal immigration and families are being exposed to violence associated with drug trafficking and transnational gangs, according to hundreds of sheriffs across the United States.
