It might not be a surprise that Hennepin County doesn’t always cooperate with ICE when it comes to criminal illegal aliens. But what about rural Minnesota counties? It appears some don’t completely cooperate with ICE.
A recent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement report lists institutions that are non-cooperative or have limited cooperation with ICE when it comes to Detainers. You should be surprised if your County is listed.
