www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com #Podast Activists have called on the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners to oppose the county sheriff’s participation in a controversial immigration program.

Known as the 287(g) program, it deputizes state and local officials with certain powers of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities.
