In recent months, members of the Riley County Law Enforcement Agency Board said they’ve gotten comments from the public as well as within the board about 287(g) agreements with federal immigration enforcement agencies.
As a result, Monday’s meeting of the board included a presentation from member Craig Beardsley and ensuing discussion with the purpose of informing the board about the agreements.
The Riley County Police Department does not have an agreement with ICE.
Officials added the discussion to Monday’s agenda “to acquaint board members with a federal program in which approximately 23 local Kansas law enforcement agencies and one state law enforcement agency currently participate,” Beardsley said.
