.He also wrote that the citizens of Linn County, “Have entrusted me with a noble cause: to keep them and their families safe. My deputies and I take that responsibility very seriously and like you, have sworn to support the Constitution of the United States. I take that oath equally as seriously as protecting our citizens.”
Mueller said neither he nor his deputies will enforce any regulation enacted by Congress or by executive order of the president that offends the constitutional rights of Linn County residents. Nor will he permit the enforcement of unconstitutional regulations or orders by federal officers with the borders of Linn County.
“It is the position of this sheriff that I refuse to participate, or stand idly by, while my citizens are turned into criminals due to the unconstitutional actions of misguided politicians,” Mueller noted
