SUMMARY: ICE is collaborating with several Kentucky counties to identify and arrest undocumented immigrants as part of the Trump administration’s immigration agenda. While Jefferson County does not partner with ICE, counties like Bullitt, Davis, Grayson, and Oldham are involved in a program that allows local officers to serve warrants for potential illegal immigrants in jails. These counties receive compensation for housing federal detainees, and ICE conducts regular inspections. Concerns about aggressive tactics and community fear are voiced by activists, particularly regarding the impact on local Hispanic populations. Some sheriffs acknowledge community worries while maintaining support for their partnerships with ICE.
