This Alabama sheriff who wouldn't participate in 287(g) to aid immigration enforcement lost reelection after nearly three decades in office

Another MAGA victory took place earlier this week, but this one has flown under the radar a little bit.

Lee County, Alabama, home of Auburn University, has had the same sheriff since before the turn of the 21st Century. But on Tuesday night, Jay Jones was narrowly defeated, largely because he would not participate in basic illegal immigration enforcement.

Here's AL.com on the race:

A former Lee County deputy that was fired after deciding to run to become sheriff will now unseat the person that terminated him.

Cameron Hunt was elected to become Lee County's next sheriff Tuesday narrowly beating current Sheriff Jay Jones.

Cam Hunt launched his campaign against Jones because he was frustrated that the sheriff's office was not participating in the 287(g) which is a voluntary program that allows sheriff's offices to aid in immigration enforcement by holding illegal aliens for ICE and CBP.

Hunt was fired by Jones for launching this campaign, and Tuesday night it was Jones who was fired by the people of Lee County.

According to the Secretary of State's election results, Hunt received 51 percent of votes or 9,301 total to Jones's 49 percent totaling 8,994 votes.

Just 307 votes different between the two candidates.

And after 28 years, there's a new sheriff in town.
