Riverton, Utah, Mayor Trent Staggs released a statement Thursday saying he was "horrified to learn" that the state had been declared a sanctuary state by the Salt Lake City Field Office of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement earlier this year.
Staggs was reacting to an ICE memo with the subject line, "Sanctuary State Designation for the State of Utah," dated May 31, 2023. Staggs, who is running for the Senate seat vacated by retiring Sen. Mitt Romney, called on Utah officials to work with ICE to enforce the rule of law. "Utah now ranks with the Democrat states of Washington, New York, Illinois, and California as sanctuary states that mock the rule of law. This will not end well if not promptly course corrected. I call on Governor Spencer Cox, Senate President Stuart Adams, and House Speaker Brad Wilson to lay aside agendas and consider the consequences of continuing down this path," Staggs wrote.
