Comment on 287(g) Agreements in Utah County
July 16, 2025 2:15 pm
“287(g) agreements let the federal government turn local police into immigration agents, leading to potential discrimination and civil rights violations,” said Ellie Menlove, Director of Policy for the ACLU of Utah. “This isn’t public safety—it makes people afraid to call for help, report crimes, or cooperate with law enforcement. It’s government overreach that forces local taxpayers to foot the bill for the federal government.”
