A group in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania is calling on the county commissioners to pass a resolution discouraging local agencies from entering into agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This comes after five Lebanon County departments signed agreements with ICE last month, which allow local law enforcement to enforce certain aspects of U.S. immigration law.
Why it matters
The debate over ICE's role and presence in local communities has been a contentious political issue, with strong feelings on both sides. This story highlights the ongoing tensions and efforts by advocacy groups to limit ICE's partnerships with local law enforcement.
The details
The resolution proposed by the Lebanon Indivisible group failed to receive a second motion from the other two county commissioners, preventing it from moving forward. Lebanon County Commissioner Michael Kuhn acknowledged the community's engagement on the issue, but expressed support for the current administration's efforts to address illegal immigration. A recent poll found that 94% of registered voters in the area are closely following ICE activities, with varied feelings about the agency's presence in their communities.
- Last month, five Lebanon County departments signed agreements with ICE.
