Reality Check: More Local Police Choosing to Work With ICE, Not Less
By Becky Noble | 2:43 PM on February 16, 2026
Since the Trump administration began mass deportation operations, Democrats and the Left have been losing their collective minds. Despite immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents being charged with getting rid of "the worst of the worst" of illegal immigrants, the Left insists on putting illegal immigrants ahead of American citizens and impeding ICE operations at every turn. In many blue cities and states, local law enforcement is prohibited from cooperating with ICE. Much to the chagrin of the left, however, that may be changing.
According to new data by FWD.US, a nonpartisan policy organization, collaborations between local law enforcement and ICE agents that permit police officers to make federal immigration arrests have seen a sharp increase during the first year of Trump 2.0. In the first year of Trump's second term alone, arrests by local officers have risen by 950 percent. As of January 26, 1,168 local agencies have officers trained to assist ICE agents. That's up from just 135 during the Biden administration, and 150 at the end of Trump's first term.
