From staff reports
Sun City Democrats have organized a letter-writing campaign to Beaufort County Sherill P.J. Tanner to protest his support of ICE and his “disregard for the fundamental protections afforded to all under the Constitution.”
The letters will be delivered in person on Thursday, Oct. 23, beginning with a rally at 10 a.m. at the Beaufort County Government Building, followed by a walk to the Sheriff’s Headquarters on Bay Street.
“We find the agreement to assist ICE reprehensible, said Lynn Gerson, President of the Sun City Democrats. “Sheriff Tanner didn’t listen to us at the community meetings, so we intend to keep the pressure on any way we can. The final pressure will come at the ballot box when he’s up for reelection. We have reached out to other groups in the community and the response has been amazing.”
