10. ICE will pay them!

Fri Feb 20, 2026, 12:26 PM

Friday

Local law enforcement is generally not legally required to work with federal law enforcement, as the 10th Amendment prohibits the federal government from forcing states to enforce federal laws. While they often cooperate on joint task forces or with federal grants, local agencies are not subordinate to federal agencies.

ICE (via NPR) offers full reimbursement for the annual salary and benefits of trained officers, including up to 25% for overtime.

Under the 2026 expansion, the program has grown significantly, with FWD.us reporting that billions in funding has been promised to local agencies.

It's all about filling their wallets, enforcing the laws are likely a secondary consideration!
