In a state filled with disempowered police, it is nice to know that at least on sheriff is willing to do whatever it takes – including risk his career – to protect the general public.
Indeed, per a report from Spectrum News, Amador County Sheriff Gary Redman is unimpressed by the “sanctuary” status of California.
Particularly when accounting for the ways in which that status was enshrined in the so-called “California Values Act.”
“The California Values Act, passed in 2017, bars state and local law enforcement from enforcing federal immigration laws and from contacting ICE with few exceptions, including after a person has served a sentence,” Spectrum News detailed.
Gotta love how such an act has “values” in its name.
Redman himself remains nonplussed by that particular “law,” making it clear that public safety is his most important priority.
“If I get somebody that comes through my jail facility who has committed a heinous crime, who was a threat to our community and is somehow going to get released prior to any type of court proceedings, does not have a conviction. Then my stance is I’m going to work with ICE, contact ICE,” Redman asserted.
Excellent!
“I’m not going to release them back out in the community,” Redman
If only everyone had the gumption Redman did.
“If you’re not going to get on our radar, you’re not out there committing crimes, you know, especially violent felonies. You’re not posing a public safety risk. We’re not going to get involved with any type of immigration enforcement. That’s not my job,” Redman brayed.
In other words, Redman is openly stating he won’t go out of his way to pursue illegals, but he sure will if they pose a risk to public safety.
Frankly, Redman’s actions seem well-aligned with a long, storied career that has long been dedicated to serving the public.
According to the official webpage of the Amador Sheriff Department’s webpage, Redman has been committed to the United States for nearly forty years.
“Sheriff Redman was born and raised in Southern California. He enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1988 and served our country for four years. Sheriff Redman was stationed in Germany for two years and was assigned to the U.S. Forces Police in Kaiserslautern, Germany prior to being Honorably Discharged … In 1996 Sheriff Redman joined the Los Angeles Police Department and was assigned to South East Division and Central Traffic where he performed all patrol functions,” the webpage noted.
What an outstanding resume … and that was just the beginning.
“Sheriff Redman established close working relationships with SWAT team leaders throughout the state, including the California Department of Justice, FBI, ATF and DEA,” the webpage added.
And, at this point in time, ICE as well.
