Steven Tompkins

Steven Tompkins is the Suffolk County Sheriff, appointed in 2013 and later elected to serve multiple terms. He gained attention for his controversial stance on immigration enforcement, notably evicting ICE agents from the county jail in 2019. Currently, he faces federal charges of extortion for allegedly pressuring a cannabis executive for $50,000 in a licensing scheme, which has raised serious concerns about corruption and abuse of power in law enforcement.
