Moving of ICE detainees from Etowah County could be delayed
U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt said he has been told by officials with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that they will delay their decision to abandon operations in Etowah County until next year.

Aderholt, R-Haleyville, met Wednesday in Washington, D.C., with Sheriff Todd Entrekin, Chief of Corrections Scott Hassell, Etowah County Chief Executive Officer Patrick Simms and Etowah County Commissioner Tim Choate, who left Tuesday night for Washington, D.C.
