Both sheriffs strongly defended the integrity and high standards of ICE detention centers, refuting claims made by Arizona Congresswoman Yasmeen Ansari about alleged mistreatment and poor conditions at the Eloy Detention Center. Sheriff Lamb called the accusations “false and irresponsible,” noting that the facilities maintain an “extremely high standard of care” and that such political grandstanding only misleads the public.

Sheriff Dannels highlighted the urgent need for cooperation between federal, state, and local authorities, criticizing urban leaders who deny the severity of violent crime while resisting federal assistance. Both sheriffs reaffirmed their support for law enforcement partnerships and the Trump administration’s commitment to targeting violent offenders and traffickers to restore public safety across America.
