Mayor Frank Yanish was elected during the 2010 elections with 4,121 votes and he will take office in January 2011. This change has created great expectations in the community of Willmar because of the support that mayor Frank expressed for Section 287(g) of the Immigration Act.

“ Section 287(g) of the Immigration Act was passed by congress in 1996 and authorizes the justice department and department of homeland security (DHS) to make arrangements with local law enforcement (state and municipal) so that they may carry out certain functions as U.S. immigration officers.
