KingCo deputies don't ask immigration status
The Associated Press
SEATTLE The King County Council has adopted an ordinance ensuring that county services are available to all residents regardless of citizenship.
The measure approved Monday codifies current sheriff's policies that deputies cannot make stops or ask for information only to check a person's immigration status.
The sheriff's office says it couldn't do its job if people worried about coming forward as victims or witnesses.
