It was a big topic at the Harrison County safety meeting this morning.

Millions of people across the country have protested President Donald Trump’s Immigration ban at airports and taken to social media with their concerns.

Harrison County Sheriff Joe Myers is prepared in case protests break out in the county.

The most recent protests are triggered after Trump signed an executive order to temporarily ban roughly 218 million people from seven Muslim majority countries from entering the U.S.

Another executive order that’s causing controversy is moving forward with the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines.

While officials don’t anticipate protestors, they say it’s something they are keeping their eye on. “If we have protestors due to the executive order that the president has laid out, we’re prepared to meet that head on and do what we need to do in order to protect the public’s safety,” Myers said.

Myers tells me the department and other agencies plan to meet sometime next week to discuss in depth the plan of action.
