This initiative aims to reduce the legal risks and financial liabilities police may face if accused of misconduct while performing immigration-related duties. over 2,300 police departments have partnered with ICE since President Donald Trump took office in January 2025, marking the highest level of cooperation. The proposed insurance would cover costs such as legal fees, settlements, and judgments, with ICE perhaps reimbursing police departments for the expenses. This move is intended to encourage more law enforcement agencies to collaborate with ICE, thereby expanding immigration enforcement efforts nationwide. The timeline for approval and implementation of the insurance plan has not been specified.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is moving forward with a plan to provide liability insurance for state and local police who assist the federal agency with <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/immigration\">immigration<\/a> enforcement, according to a new report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If successful, the move could ease the possible legal burden on nonfederal police and encourage more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-associate-attorney-common-nominee-really-wants-to-eliminate-school-cops\/\" title=\"Biden Associate Attorney Common Nominee REALLY WANTS TO Eliminate School COPS\">law enforcement departments<\/a> to cooperate with <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ice\">ICE<\/a> and partner through 287(g) agreements, which allow ICE to deputize <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/police-and-law-enforcement\">local and state police<\/a> to carry out select immigration duties.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/immigration\/4690981\/ice-may-pay-liability-insurance-for-police-who-help-immigration-report\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>ICE may pay for liability insurance for police who help with immigration: Report<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/crime\/4690817\/luigi-mangione-state-murder-trial-delay\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Mangione\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/luigi-mangiones-state-trial-delayed-as-lawyers-claim-double-jeopardy\/\" title=\"Luigi Mangione&#039;s state trial delayed as lawyers claim double jeopardy\">state murder trial delayed<\/a> as lawyers seek to have case tossed for double jeopardy<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/crime\/4690452\/fundraiser-money-pouring-in-lindsay-clancy-murder-trial-musgrove-family-fund\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Fundraiser for Lindsay Clancy raises over $850,000 in under one week<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ICE is specifically looking at subsidizing liability insurance for police departments who have signed 287(g) agreements, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/ice-liability-insurance-misconduct-civil-lawsuit-af330d49dcb9e40295c1fea4fc9ae6f6\">according to<\/a> a planning document viewed by the <em>Associated Press<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The insurance would help local and state police who assist ICE avoid financial liability if they are accused of misconduct while working.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since President Donald Trump took office in January 2025, more than 2,300 police departments nationwide have opted in to working with ICE.
