"Partnership is vitally important. I would love to see ICE become a transport more than the front line. If we can get back into just simply working with law enforcement, we're going to them, we're picking up these criminals from their jail."
"ICE has supercharged efforts with state and local law enforcement to assist federal immigration officers in our efforts to make America safe again."
"The enforcement operation in Minnesota was aggressive and highly visible: federal immigration officers slammed protesters to the ground, deployed tear gas in neighborhoods and outside schools, dragged people from their cars, and ultimately killed two U.S. citizens."
"In February, an NPR/PBS News/Marist poll found that two thirds of Americans said ICE had gone too far."
The federal government is moving away from high-profile immigration enforcement operations towards a less visible approach that relies on local police. Markwayne Mullin, the new DHS secretary, emphasized the importance of partnerships with local law enforcement. The aggressive tactics used in past operations, such as the one in Minnesota, have proven politically unpopular. The 287(g) program, which allows local officers to perform some ICE duties, has seen a significant increase in participation, particularly during the Trump administration.
