Sheriff deputies have the responsibility to uphold the state and federal constitutions, Begole said in the Monday letter.

"With limited resources, staffing and facilities, our priority focus will be on enforcing duly passed laws for the protection of Shiawassee County citizens," Begole said. "I have decided, within my authority, that our office cannot and will not divert our primary resources and efforts towards enforcement of the (sic) Governor Whitmer's executive orders," he wrote.
