After completing a 40-hour training, 25 Laramie County Sheriff's Office deputies were officially certified to enforce federal immigration laws and assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

On Wednesday, Laramie County Sheriff Brian Kozak hosted a news conference on the change, which made Laramie County one of the first in the state to do so.

This week on Wyoming Watch, we are airing Kozak's speech from that event, followed by a Q&A.
