Finney County removed from sanctuary list by CIS
The Center for Immigration Studies designated Finney County as removed from its sanctuary list after a push by Sheriff Kevin Bascue and County Administrator Randy Partington. County officials insist the community remains in good standing with ICE and fully cooperative with federal immigration policy, though some remain skeptical about media framing. Undersheriff John Andrews welcomed the change saying it never affected operations.
