Several suburban Chicago sheriffs announced they will not send deputies to Chicago to deal with possible staffing shortages over vaccine mandates.

Kane County Sheriff Ron Hain, a Democrat, told The Chicago Tribune that he doesn’t “feel like the onus is on us to go in there in an emergency situation that was created by poor government and a lack of support the officers receive.”
