Local Police Agreements With ICE Surge 950% In First Year Of Trump's Second Term

Agreements between local law enforcement agencies and Immigration and Customs Enforcement have surged 950% in President Donald Trump's first year in office, according to a new report by the advocacy organization FWD.US.
Under the Biden administration, there were 135 such agreements. Now, there are 1,168 as of Jan. 26, according to the report.
The Trump administration has openly called on local police and sheriff's departments to participate in its recently revived "task force" program that deputizes officers, giving them the authority to stop and arrest suspected illegal immigrants, according to NBC News.
