Barnstable County Administrator Michael Dutton is digging for some clarity on why the county and some Cape towns are on the Department of Homeland Security's list of sanctuary jurisdictions.
Dutton says the county hasn't adopted any policies that make it a sanctuary for illegal immigrants and has always supported ICE initiatives.
Sheriff Donna Buckley was also taken aback by the news.
Dutton says he'll provide more info about what the designation may mean for locals after he speaks with the Feds.
