Rogers (AP) - Four northwest Arkansas police agencies have signed an agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to enforce federal immigration law. The 19 trained officers from the Rogers and Springdale police departments and the Benton and Washington county sheriff's offices will work on a newly created local task force with ICE agents. The agreement allows the officers to check the immigration status of the people they arrest and begin deportation proceedings against those in the country illegally.
ICE officials said the local task force also would be able to target money laundering investigations, human trafficking, and document frauds and gangs. So far, ICE says it has trained nearly 600 officers nationwide under the local partnership program. They credit the program with identifying more than 26,000 people who have possible immigration violations. The Arkansas State Police also is examining joining the ICE program.
