ICE and CHPD

I support due process of law.

I oppose municipal police assisting in any manner with ICE operations within Cottonwood Heights or surrounding jurisdictions.

As of September 3, 2025 I obtained the following statement from CHPD: “The city is not pursuing the 287g (arrangement between municipal and federal agencies). There have been essentially no calls of service assisting federal agencies other than a handful of cases related to felony drug or Internet crimes against children cases that involve undocumented people since January."

Again, I reached out to Chief Russo and on January 15, 2026: “The Cottonwood Heights Police Department maintains positive professional and working relationships with all municipal, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, including ICE. At this time, no department officers are cross-designated under 8 U.S.C. § 287(g).”
