changed county policy. is it no longer considered a sanctuary. now they want to know what happened. >> my first reaction to the story was that it wasn't true. chris: prince william county chairman corey stewart couldn't believe it when he saw the abc7 story last week on the sanctuary city. a sanctuary city is defined as a jurisdiction that does not cooperate with immigration custom enforcement. we found five in the d.c. metro area. including his. >> every single member of the board of the county supervisors is very concerned about this. if we find out that our policy has been deliberately undermined, heads will roll. chris: two days after our report the county board held the investigation and directed the police to begin to fully cooperate with the feds. board launched an audit to find out why i.c.e. was not being alerted. when police came in contact with illegal immigrants who had a civil or a deportation

warrant. >> we will find out the truth. >> in 2007, prince william county made national headlines for adopting the strictest immigration laws, which includes checking immigration status over everyone arrested. stewart who led the charge admits the oversight concerning i.c.e. is embarrassing. >> it had not been for "7 on your side" we wouldn't have known about it. and we would not have been able to correct the situation. chris: the result of that is expected next week. the chief of police in the county told me he is working with ice to find out how many illegal immigrants should have been reported to the feds were not. chris papst, abc7 news. leon: all right. thank you, chris. still ahead, just ahead here on "abc7 news at 6:00" -- kidd: i'm kidd o'shea live in hollywood on the set of "dancing with the stars." it's all happening right there. we are talking to the fans to find out who they say should win tonight coming up in a
