ICE proposes liability insurance for local officers

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is proposing to subsidize liability insurance for local police officers who enforce federal immigration laws, covering up to $500,000 in personal liability with reimbursements up to $250 annually. The plan aims to remove a hurdle that has made some departments reluctant to join ICE's 287(g) partnerships, which have surged since President Trump returned to office. Critics argue it shields officers from accountability for misconduct.
