WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Richard Jones is one of the most outspoken sheriffs in America when it comes to illegal immigration and crime, echoing themes pushed by Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential campaign as the Republican tries to win back the White House.

Jones has been sheriff for two decades in solidly Republican Butler County, Ohio, where Trump running mate JD Vance was born and raised. Typically attired in a cowboy hat and sporting a bushy, white mustache, he regularly appears on conservative news outlets to criticize Democrats’ border policies.
