The sheriff's previous statements on not cooperating with ICE have sparked debate amid the ongoing border crisis and concerns over criminal illegal aliens entering the country.
After the murder of nursing student Laken Riley by an alleged illegal immigrant in Athens, Georgia, residents pointed to Sheriff John Williams, who campaigned on not cooperating with ICE.

Angry residents interrupted Athens Mayor Kelly Girtz, accusing him of having "blood on his hands" for the murder and demanding more CBP agents. Girtz denied the city being a sanctuary and emphasized that Georgia law doesn't allow for sanctuary cities.
