Vermont officer's stop sparks deportation debate

A Vermont sheriff’s deputy used cooperation with federal Border Patrol agents during a traffic stop to facilitate the deportation of an undocumented farmworker, raising concerns over the compatibility of local police policies with federal immigration enforcement. The incident involved the deputy, Sergeant Scott Costella, who called Border Patrol after stopping a vehicle, leading to the arrest and subsequent deportation of the individual. This event has prompted internal reviews, political debate, and scrutiny over the federal Operation Stonegarden program, which provides funding for local law enforcement to assist federal border activities. Critics argue that the program conflicts with Vermont’s policies aimed at limiting cooperation with immigration authorities.
