"Constitutional Sheriffs" are local law enforcement officials who believe their primary duty is to uphold the U.S. Constitution and protect citizens' rights. They often assert that they have the authority to refuse enforcement of laws they consider unconstitutional, emphasizing their role as defenders of individual liberties. This movement has gained traction among some sheriffs across the country, who argue that federal and state laws can sometimes overreach. Supporters claim that these sheriffs act as a check on government power, while critics argue that this approach can lead to selective law enforcement and undermine the rule of law.
