U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

Ten small Ohio police departments have inked agreements with ICE to help enforce federal immigration law. But many say they aren't actively participating.

And a visit from police claiming to be working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to Cincinnati Public Schools.

The Village of Gratis Police Department confirmed Officer Jeffrey Baylor submitted his resignation following an incident last week in which he and Chief Tonina Lamanna visited three schools in the Cincinnati Public School District on behalf of ICE.

The agency says the attempt was part of a new state and local law enforcement partnership known as the "Unaccompanied Alien Children Safety Verification Initiative."

Superintendent Shauna Murphy and the district's General Counsel Daniel Hoying say officers did not present any legal warrants or interact with any students.

The lawsuit, filed in the Ohio Supreme Court, alleges the board and the district's treasurer violated their duties by not publicly sharing details of the district's internal response plan intended for if immigration enforcement officers show up on school grounds.

Border czar Tom Homan says ICE agents will help the Transportation Security Administration "move those lines" while also enforcing immigration law.

In a call with top state voting officials, a Department of Homeland Security official stated unequivocally that immigration agents would not be patrolling polling places during this year's midterms.

Cincinnati Council passed three motions aimed at further limiting city cooperation with immigration enforcement actions.

Six Greater Cincinnati counties work with the Department of Homeland Security to house immigration detainees or assist in immigration enforcement actions. But the nature of their agreements with the federal government differs.
