Deputies from the Frederick County Sheriff's Office are among officers from five law enforcement agencies in Maryland and Northern Virginia getting training in the arrest and detention of illegal immigrants.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency began the four-week training course Monday.

The in-depth training focuses on immigration law, intercultural relations and using Department of Homeland Security databases to identify criminals and immigration violators.
