The Knox County Commission is scheduled to discuss a controversial immigration enforcement deal following a report published last week by Knox News and Compass Knox that revealed the Sheriff s Office didn t secure commission approval for the initiative as required by state law.
Commissioner Charles Busler asked to put the issue on the body’s April agenda, which means it will be up for discussion at either the April 19 agenda review or the full April 26 meeting, or possibly both. The commission agenda was first published online Tuesday. Commission manager Drucilla Stills told Knox News that Busler requested the item be added Thursday, the day the report published.
Commissioners Courtney Durrett and Dasha Lundy, both Democrats, said they want to get to the bottom of what approval is required by the commission for the Knox County Sheriff s Office to participate in the 287(g) program, which authorizes local law enforcement to partner with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Durrett called for the program to be halted immediately.
The revelations about the legality of Knox County s participation, however, also revealed a split in the commission. The county legislative body s Republican members have expressed little appetite for asserting their oversight powers, mostly deferring to the county s law director s office, which maintains the deal is legal without the approval required by state statute.
