"Songer is part of the “constitutional sheriff” movement and asserts that he and other sheriffs have the authority to decide which state or federal laws to enforce. " 

"Other sheriff’s posses in the state include the Benton Franklin Sheriff Posse, where volunteers participate in training and meetings;  

the Mounted Posse Unit in Grand County, where posse members must be at least 21, have a valid driver’s license, and own a horse; 

 and the Asotin County Sheriff’s Posse, where members largely assist in search and rescue and do outreach related to outdoor safety." 

'some sheriffs across the state have already vowed to collaborate with ICE efforts to carry out President Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans. 

 Songer posted a video on Facebook on Dec. 11 telling federal ICE officials to “put me on speed dial.” 

Pat Arnold, executive director of Friends of the White Salmon River, an environmental organization based in Klickitat County, echoed Nijhuis’ concerns."

“Posse members with handguns and handcuffs at their belts at public meetings 

 and events are scary,” she told lawmakers. 

 “We also fear that posse members will be involved in immigration actions in our county, and 

 uncertified volunteers should not conduct 

 hound pursuits, which are frequent in Klickitat County.”

'In addition to putting parameters around law enforcement volunteers, the bill also seeks to standardize expectations around eligibility and background checks for law enforcement leaders.

The bill, if passed into law, will ensure that all law enforcement officers in the state, no matter their rank, meet the same basic eligibility requirements such as  

having a high school diploma,  

being a certain minimum age, 

passing a background check,  

and being clear of serious misconduct, felonies, or  

convictions relating to dishonesty, fraud, or corruption. (Unlike POTUS Drumpf guilty of 34 Felonies)

McMahon, with the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs,  

expressed concerns about the constitutionality 

 of requiring a sheriff to pass a background check"  

before being placed on an election ballot 

 and the process for filling a vacancy if a sheriff is decertified and removed from office."
