Across Wisconsin, some county jails are becoming holding sites for ICE detainees under quiet contracts that most residents never hear about. These agreements don’t target people convicted of crimes—they detain individuals over civil immigration issues, often for days or weeks.
As Henry Teckam reports, the ACLU warns that these contracts could severely impact community trust in law enforcement while diverting resources from public safety.
So what’s really going on here? It’s a national immigration crackdown playing out at the county level, and some Wisconsin sheriffs are helping to make it happen.
