Joining a growing list of local law enforcement officials across the U.S., Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran on Wednesday urged Congress to adopt federal immigration reforms that would legalize the nation's estimated 10.6 million illegal immigrants.
In an interview with the Tribune and its Spanish-language sister newspaper, Hoy, Curran said processing and holding illegal immigrant inmates has become too costly, in the millions of dollars. A Roman Catholic, Curran added that his position also is based on his personal convictions.
