City Participation in the Federal 287(g) Agreement
Summary
Dozens of residents urged the commission to rescind the city's voluntary 287(g) agreement with ICE, saying it makes immigrants afraid to report crimes and separates families. The city manager and police chief said no detainers have been applied based on immigration status alone, but no vote was taken in the recorded portion.

Impact analysis
Speakers warned of costly litigation liabilities and potential loss of $7.5 million in state appropriations and federal grants if the city exits — or stays in — the agreement.
If rescinded, immigrant families and community trust in police would benefit; if maintained, state officials favoring enforcement cooperation benefit.
Immigrant residents report fear of family separation and underreporting of crime under the current agreement.
