The resolution encourages county sheriffs and local law enforcement agencies in Michigan to partner with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by entering into 287(g) agreements. These agreements allow local law enforcement to assist in immigration enforcement, which supporters argue will improve public safety.
Supporters of the resolution argue that by entering into 287(g) agreements, local law enforcement can better address crime and enhance community safety. They believe that collaboration with ICE will lead to more effective immigration enforcement and help protect residents from criminal activity.
Critics of the resolution contend that encouraging local law enforcement to work with ICE may lead to racial profiling and undermine trust between immigrant communities and police. They argue that this could create fear among residents, making them less likely to report crimes or cooperate with law enforcement.
