County health investigation blocked by GEO; ICE revoked body writs; commissioners issued solidarity statement; state legislation advancing

County Council voted 11-3 to ban ICE cooperation March 2026. Arrests tripled to 1,425 in 2025. Sheriff deputies observed assisting ICE in courthouse despite denials. Small municipalities signed then reversed 287(g) agreements after press exposure.

Ongoing fight: ACLU demands 72-hour limit, legislature investigating, National Guard deployed to ICE office, conditions violations documented but no resolution

Hold room exposed March 2026; Aurora city council delayed MOU vote; third-highest ICE arrests statewide in 2025

Bergen County ended ICE contract; State of NJ lawsuit against contract renewal in year 3 as of 2026, contract set to expire May 2026, court-ordered mediation failed. As of May 2026, fight overlaps with broader NJ-vs-DOJ ICE conflict: Gov. Sherrill EO 12 (Feb 11 2026) banning ICE from state property and DOJ countersuit (Feb 24 2026).

Ongoing. April 7, 2026 BOCC agenda includes both FDEP environmental monitoring agreement AND lease for 'temporary ICE detainment facility' — lease before studies complete.

ACLU documented racial profiling in Nov 2025 traffic stop operation; SCHP admitted providing troopers for ICE; community opposition growing but no legal challenge filed yet.

Columbus passed 287(g) ban and detention facility moratorium; courthouse ICE arrests continue

Since April 2026, ICE has made arrests at Cook County courthouses at least seven times — including at the domestic violence courthouse — in apparent violation of Illinois law prohibiting civil immigration arrests in courthouses. Cook County Circuit Judge Erica Reddick is set to rule May 11, 2026 on a petition to appoint a special prosecutor for Operation Midway Blitz-related federal agent conduct. The Cook County State's Attorney has announced a protocol to criminally charge ICE agents who violate state law.

Proposal stalled after community backlash; 2 of 3 commissioners oppose; City of Coos Bay officially opposed; contractor says 'moot' but door left open

Sheriff Klang signed both TFM and WSO 287(g) agreements in March 2025 without county board approval. AG Ellison's Dec 2025 opinion says this is illegal. Agreements remain in effect as of May 2026 — board has neither ratified nor rescinded; Chair Franzen publicly accepts status quo. CWC indicated no change in approach despite ACLU's Freeborn injunction (Jan 16, 2026). Klang held ~60 Twin Cities-arrested detainees in 287-bed jail; assisted HSI with arrests at Brainerd's El Potro restaurant. Residents at March 24, 2026 board meeting demanded county join Jackson/Cass/Itasca in nullifying the agreement. State legislature considering full 287(g) ban (March 2026).

May 2025 'Operation Flood the Zone' (ICE-THP): 600+ traffic stops in immigrant neighborhoods over 6-7 nights, ~196 arrests. Investigation revealed profiling and demeaning behavior. THP subsequently rejected all further ICE partnership requests (confirmed March 2026). TIRRC public-records lawsuit filed Aug 2025 in Davidson County Chancery; state 'under litigation' per Commissioner Long. April 2026: Tennessee legislature passed mandatory 287(g) bill (deadline Jan 1, 2027); Metro Legal advised Sheriff Daron Hall the law does not bind DCSO because he is not POST-certified. Mayor Freddie O'Connell's Executive Order 30 (mandatory ICE-interaction reporting) remains in force despite congressional investigations.

Delaware enacted HB 182 in July 2025 banning 287(g) agreements after the town of Camden secretly signed one. In 2026, the legislature is advancing HB 151 to bar state funds from private detention facilities and a separate bill banning civil courthouse arrests. On the opposing front, a federal judge ordered DE's Labor Department to turn over confidential wage records to ICE investigators in April 2026 — the state is appealing that ruling. The multi-front fight makes Delaware one of the most active mid-Atlantic battlegrounds.

RFI posted March 2026 for 12-month lease; community divided; petition campaigns on both sides; status pending

Local opposition + legislative funding blockage has stalled project; ICE involvement revealed Sept 2025

ICE arrested 20 people inside Franklin County Municipal Court in 2025; sheriff handed 50 to ICE in H1 2025 (vs 11 in all 2024). Columbus passed 287(g) ban and detention center moratorium, but county-level cooperation continues.

AG Knudsen invoked supervisory control over the Gallatin County Attorney's Office on Apr 30, 2026, ordering Cromwell to share CCJI with ICE for civil immigration purposes within 30 days. Cromwell petitioned the Montana Supreme Court for relief on May 1, 2026 (OP 26-0292). Knudsen ordered her to drop the petition on May 4; Cromwell retained the Graybill Law Firm and is proceeding. Fight escalating to state supreme court.

287(g) Jail Enforcement Model active since March 2025 (MOA signed). 117+ to ICE by May 2025; 159 transferred May–Oct 2025 (47% uptick over first four months of Trump term); 500+ arrested with unauthorized/unknown status in 2025. Sheriff Garrett declined ICE September 2025 request for 60 transit beds. Jan 2026: 100+ protest at commission meeting. Feb 2026: county commission and Chattanooga city council say they lack legal authority to end the sheriff's ICE partnership. Feb 26, 2026: Bradley County constables joined ICE raid in East Brainerd; Garrett said HCSO not involved. Mar 30, 2026: Garrett publicly defended partnership. Apr 22–23, 2026: TN legislature passed mandatory statewide 287(g) bill (HB2219) requiring all sheriffs to enter agreements by Jan 1, 2027; Garrett said the mandate 'wouldn't change anything' for Hamilton because HCSO was 'leading the way' — confirming Hamilton is fully aligned with state expansion plan. Garrett is running for re-election in 2026.

Hancock County operates an active IGSA with ICE. Daily detainee counts tripled in early 2025. April 21, 2026 arrest of two F-1 student brothers at a school bus stop — one age 15 — triggered bipartisan backlash even in a county that voted 80% Trump. Transfers to Louisiana and Texas. Federal and state officials monitoring.

HB 5024 passed the Illinois House April 8, 2026 (72-35-2) and awaits Senate consideration. The bill would ban new federal immigration detention facilities within 1,500 feet of homes, schools, daycare centers, parks, forest preserves, cemeteries, or places of worship. Gov. Pritzker is expected to sign if the Senate passes it. Federal preemption challenge considered likely by Republican opponents.

Sheriff denied knowledge of ICE role; 17 workers transported to Tacoma; sanctuary law violation questions unresolved; surveillance network documented

Board publicly divided. Chairman criticized federal agents as 'cowboys.' Vigil drew 100 supporters. IGSA active 22+ years. 287(g) WSO signed May 2025 but not operationalized. AG Ellison Dec 12, 2025 opinion held sheriffs cannot unilaterally sign 287(g) — authority belongs to county boards. Board discussed 287(g) for first time in public Feb 3, 2026, took no action; commissioner Corky Berg flagged lawsuit/financial-liability concerns. Board paralysis variant: the unilateral sheriff signature stands while a divided board declines to vote either way.

Aurora unanimously bans ICE from city property; St. Charles refuses; state courthouse protection bill passes; sheriff blocked by TRUST Act

ICE seeking 10-year lease for Grand Rapids office space via GSA. No sanctuary policy adopted despite community push. No 287g agreement.

Ongoing: residents attending fiscal court since Dec 2025; Fiscal Court has not taken a public position; jailer Marc Fields publicly supports partnership; Kenton (unlike Oldham/Grayson/Daviess/Hopkins) DID disclose ICE billing under open records — transparency-cooperative; 40 habeas petitions filed in Eastern District KY in early 2026, all from Northern KY jails

GEO Group opened 700-bed Central Valley Annex in McFarland late April 2026 under a claimed existing intergovernmental agreement, bypassing California's 180-day public notice requirement. No public hearings held. ICE transferred detainees without local permit verification. Advocates had no opportunity to raise concerns before opening. Permit status unconfirmed as of late April 2026.

Confirmed ICE activity October 2025; sheriff's office refused comment on policy; Flock ALPR cameras deployed

New sheriff pledges sanctuary compliance; ACLU pressure continues; state legislation strengthening protections

Protests organized but ICE operations expanding; county now houses ~500 ICE detainees across two facilities

Contested. DHS documents show 7,000-10,000 bed warehouse conversion planned for Indianapolis, targeted for Nov 2026 activation. Marion County Jail hit capacity, stopped holding for ICE beyond 48 hours. Miami Correctional Facility already activated with 1,000 ICE beds.

State passed PROTECT Act limiting local ICE cooperation (March 2026); ICE arrests quintupled to 7,030+; feds listed all of MA as sanctuary jurisdiction.

Sheriff Kyle Burton signed Task Force Model 287(g) MOU with ICE in July 2025 without county board approval. Following AG Ellison's Dec 12, 2025 opinion that sheriffs lack authority to sign 287(g) unilaterally, Burton publicly refused to rescind, telling reporters Ellison's opinion 'does not carry influence with me' and 'I am not intimidated by him whatsoever.' County Board of Commissioners has taken no action to ratify or rescind. As of Jan 29, 2026, 10 individuals had been detained for deportation in the county. The Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Chief Executive Virgil Wind issued Executive Order 2026-01 (~Jan 16, 2026) requiring ICE consultation with the Tribal Government before entering tribal lands — adding a tribal-sovereignty dimension absent from the other MN cluster fights. County Board further inflamed tribal relations with February 2026 Resolution 02-03-26-03 challenging reservation boundaries.

County Executive Blakeman signed 287(g) agreements Feb 2025. ICE detainee Santos Reyes-Banegas died Sep 18, 2025 — less than 18 hours after arrival. State court (Feb 2026) declined to halt the 287(g) agreement; NYCLU/LatinoJustice/Hofstra Law lawsuit continues. ICE missed federal 90-day death-report deadline; revised cause-of-death cited alcohol withdrawal (not liver failure as initially claimed). Family attorney Oscar Michelen alleges cover-up. Hochul introduced Local Cops, Local Crimes Act (Jan 30, 2026) seeking statewide 287(g) ban; Blakeman vows defiance. County on track to detain ~3,000 ICE detainees in 2026.

Gorham and Ossipee passed non-binding warrant articles recommending police withdrawal from 287(g). Carroll tied 82-82 (failed). Troy tabled. All votes non-binding — police chiefs retain authority over agreements. Fight ongoing.

Gov. Hochul introduced the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act on Jan 30, 2026, which would void all 14 active 287(g) agreements across 9 NY counties and bar local detention facilities from housing ICE civil detainees through July 2029. Bill is pending in the state legislature; upstate Republican sheriffs and Nassau County Executive Blakeman are the primary opposition.

Facility opened May 1, 2025 despite city lawsuit. Mayor Baraka arrested May 9. Detainee death Dec 2025. Conditions protests ongoing.

Sheriff Filicetti signed 287(g) May 2025 (both warrant service + task force models), earning $148/person/day. By January 2026, pulled back — updated policy to require criminal charges or judicial warrants before holding detainees for ICE.

Partial win: AG opinion 26-ORD-150 (Apr 3, 2026) ruled jail violated Open Records Act; jail must disclose ICE contracts, payment records, and revenue communications. Statewide transparency context worsened Apr 23 when KY Supreme Court ruled officials can hide public business on personal devices.

Commission voted April 21, 2026 to exit the IGSA and remove ICE as a named party. Florida statute (SB 168 era) still requires 'best efforts' to support federal enforcement. Under a new Basic Ordering Agreement, non-criminal detainee holds are capped at 48 hours. Mayor Demings has not ruled out suing the state to clarify the 'best efforts' standard.

New Mexico AG Raúl Torrez filed an emergency petition with the NM Supreme Court on April 1, 2026 to void the Otero County ICE/MTC contract at the Otero County Processing Center. The court unanimously denied the request on April 16, 2026. The contract survives — for now — but the Immigrant Safety Act (HB 9), signed February 2026, bans all new or renewed state and local civil immigration detention agreements effective May 20, 2026. Torrance County defied the law by extending its ICE contract the morning after the State Senate vote.

Philadelphia City Council passed a seven-bill 'ICE Out' package on April 23, 2026 with mostly 16-1 votes, enacting among the most aggressive local restrictions on ICE operations in the country. The bills ban ICE from staging on city property, prohibit masked agents without badges, bar ICE from hospitals, libraries, schools, and other Safe Community Places, codify sanctuary status, and prohibit data-sharing with ICE. Mayor Cherelle Parker had not publicly committed to signing as of late April. Legal experts flagged federal preemption exposure on some provisions; DA Krasner openly opposed ICE operations throughout the spring.

November 20, 2025: ICE in plain clothes surrounded a state judge's car outside the Licht Judicial Complex and detained his high school intern for 30 minutes after mistaking a teenager for their target — a man in his 30s. Sen. Whitehouse confronted DHS Sec. Noem at a March 2026 Senate hearing. Rhode Island legislators introduced courthouse arrest protection bills; a state House panel heard testimony in March 2026. RI federal courts are processing 59 immigration detention challenges in 2026, equal to all of 2025.

Ongoing multi-front fight: city banning ICE from property, congressional oversight blocked, courthouse arrest injunction, ACLU raid challenge

County mayor declared state of emergency Oct 2025. Task force made 5,200+ total arrests through early Feb 2026, including 800+ immigrants — only 2% for violent crime. Detention center overcrowded (2,932 in 2,800-bed facility). 77% of ICE arrests in Shelby County had no criminal convictions. Anti-ICE march Jan 2026 met with THP aggression. Federal judge ordered release of Memphis student Yasser Lopez Soza on Apr 23, 2026.

Sheriff Joel Brott pursued a 287(g) Jail Enforcement Model agreement in 2025; per Minnesota Reformer (Nov 7, 2025) Sherburne is among 8 MN counties listed with active 287(g)s. Application paused after AG Ellison's Dec 12, 2025 opinion that only county boards can authorize. The 732-bed Sherburne County Jail is MN's largest ICE detention site (long-running IGSA, ~131-detainee 19-year average, peaked at 304/day in 2019; ~99 detainees as of 2025 per Unicorn Riot). At a Jan 20, 2026 board workshop, Commissioner Gregg Felber pressed for a board resolution endorsing 287(g) and ICE assistance — county attorney warned discussion risked open-meeting-law violation; County Administrator Bruce Messelt flagged legal risk; Felber retracted. Sustained outside pressure: weekly SARI vigils, ICOM 'End ICE Detention' campaign, Mar 8 multi-org rally at sheriff's office.

Police chief refused formal ICE agreement; mayor issued protective statements; state law mandates sheriffs cooperate but city police push back

Sheriff Allard has both warrant service and task force 287(g) agreements plus new 3-year U.S. Marshals contract (Feb 2026). Claims jail won't house civil immigration detainees but ICE rider allows revenue from criminal immigration cases. Residents packed chambers demanding rescission.

County convention voted 22-11 to demand renegotiation restricting jail to criminal-charge detainees only. Budget rejected 29-4 in protest. Votes are symbolic — commissioners control the contract. Three-year IGSA still in effect. $9M/year at stake.

ICE 'Operation County Roads' swept 650+ immigrants across WV in January 2026. US District Judge Joseph Goodwin issued a 'final notice' in March 2026 finding detentions unconstitutional under the Fifth Amendment for lack of individualized custody hearings. Of 71 habeas petitioners, 65 were ordered released. A separate ruling found masked ICE agents in unmarked vehicles violated the Fourth Amendment. In late March 2026, the WV Regional Jail system suspended accepting new ICE detainees pending court compliance.

County Board majority rejected Sheriff Hanson's proposal to lease 100+ jail beds to ICE for $5.5-6.5M/year; Board Chair Garcia said no ICE contract 'in the foreseeable future'

Sheriff Dawanna Witt refused new ICE agreements. Does not honor ICE detainers (unconstitutional). Federal agents made courthouse arrest Feb 2026. Sheriff says she was 'scapegoated' by feds.

Platform Ventures withdrew from sale after weeks of mass protests, student walkouts, business shutdowns, and national general strike participation. Port KC severed all ties with the developer.

Blocked. Property owners confirmed Jan 29, 2026 they are 'no longer engaged with DHS.' Mayor Holt announced the deal was dead.

Warehouse owner declined to sell to ICE. Community opposition made the deal politically toxic for the seller.

Blocked. Opus (developer) pulled out of the deal after state Rep. Brad Tabke mobilized opposition. Tabke: 'We got it killed.'

City locked the water meter (Mar 17, 2026) because the facility's sewage demand (1M gal/day) exceeded the treatment plant's total capacity (660K gal/day). DHS paused all warehouse detention plans on Apr 1–2, 2026 under new Secretary Mullin's department review. No construction contracts awarded; no detainees arrived.

ICE scrapped plans after all-Republican Wilson County Commission, Sen. Blackburn, and local officials opposed. Deal declared dead Feb 25, 2026.

Blocked. County Board Chair Bigham: 'There is no one on the board that supports an ICE detention center.' Owner confirmed would not sell or lease to federal government.
