Cherokee County Commission approves resolution condemning federal law

[The Northerner]

COLUMBUS, Kan. — The Cherokee County Commission on Monday approved unanimously a resolution condemning provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act that allow for the indefinite detention of citizens and legal residents by the military.

Commissioner Richard Hilderbrand, who proposed the measure, said there was little discussion before the vote to approve the resolution.

President Barack Obama signed the 2012 NDAA, which had been approved by overwhelming votes in both houses of Congress.

The resolution also states it is unlawful for the military to conduct investigations or detainments in Cherokee County or for local authorities to cooperate with military investigations.
