An Alabama sheriff has personally pocketed $1.5 million in federal funds intended to feed illegal immigrants housed in a detention center he runs — and it was all legit, according to a report.
Sheriff Todd Entrekin acknowledged last March that he kept more than $750,000 in unspent food money at the Etowah County Detention Center between January 2015 and December 2017.
But records show he actually took in twice that amount, AL.com reported on Sunday.
Entrekin, like many Alabama sheriffs, used a Depression-era state law that allows them to keep funds meant for jail food, but Entrekin is the only one who detains illegal immigrants for the federal government.

This is sick. So sick! What an abuse of power. Do I feel particularly sorry for the illegals? No way. But this guy is seriously perverted and rotten.
ReplyDeleteI would rather see the good sheriff have it being a legal citizen. Why should illegals get anything?
ReplyDeleteOl hand in the cookie jar? Chop it off and let that be a lesson for ya!
ReplyDeleteGiving it to illegals is the same as stealing it, so let an actual American have it.
