Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd has expressed his support for immigration reform, stating that he supports the mass deportation of illegal aliens and supports the mission of ICE. However, he is calling on Congress to create a path for undocumented immigrants to stay in the country if they have no criminal records. He also supports giving non-criminal illegal immigrants a pathway to stay. The comments were made during a quarterly meeting of the State Immigration Council. Judd is the chair of the council, which includes the chiefs of Kissimmee and St. Clouder.
