ICE Shields Cops with New Liability Plan | Tucson News

ICE is launching a new insurance subsidy program to protect local cops making immigration arrests from personal financial liability, covering up to $500K in legal costs — with ICE footing the bill at $250/year. This move aims to ease police departments’ fears and boost participation in the 287(g) program, which has seen arrest numbers soar since Trump took office. Critics warn it shields officers from accountability, while states already exclude immigration enforcement from standard policies, forcing costly workarounds. ICE is now seeking public feedback and a contractor to manage rollout — though exact costs and timing remain unclear.
