Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke says he will use Milwaukee County sheriff's deputies to enforce federal immigration laws.

Clarke made that vow Thursday at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) near Washington, D.C.

"I’ve made it clear that in helping President Trump get his arms around this serious problem of illegal immigration that I was going to use the resources I have as the sheriff of Milwaukee County to help him accomplish that," Sheriff Clarke said.

The sheriff also argued that the best way to combat so-called "sanctuary cities" is to charge the people responsible for them with crimes.

"I’m telling you right now folks - you charge one mayor, one governor, one council president that adopts these laws, this stuff is going to end right away," he said.

Governor Scott Walker also spoke at the conference. Walker discussed the big turnout at congressional town halls across the country, and how he reacted to protests during the Act 10 debate.
