Ten county detectives will be trained to perform immigration arrests in partnership with ICE, focusing on undocumented immigrants involved in crime. The county plans to dedicate up to 50 jail cells for holding these individuals for up to 72 hours before their potential transfer to ICE. This initiative signals a broader potential trend of local and federal cooperation in immigration enforcement nationwide, as Trump aims to significantly increase deportations of undocumented immigrants.
