Episode Details

Westmoreland County’s Sheriff’s Office is pulling out of its ICE jail enforcement partnership, citing that they don’t operate the county prison — making the program illogical for them. The move follows confusion over the agreement’s existence and termination, with Commissioner Ted Kopas revealing he only learned about it via the ICE website and questioning whether it was ever properly enacted. He called the lack of transparency baffling and said common sense and taxpayer interests led to the decision. While the sheriff’s office remains open to cooperating with federal, state, and local law enforcement on other issues, this specific ICE program is now officially off the table.
