An Ohio sheriff is under fire for a social media post in which he said people with Kamala Harris yard signs should have their addresses recorded so that immigrants can be sent to live with them if the Democrat wins the presidency.

Portage County Sheriff Bruce D. Zuchowski wrote in a follow-up post he "as the elected sheriff" has a "First Amendment right, as do all citizens."

An Ohio sheriff whose request on social media for the addresses of Kamala Harris supporters is defending his post after it received nationwide attention and provoked accusations of voter intimidation.
