In March 2026, the ACLU of Ohio released a new report, ICE in Ohio, showing a dramatic expansion of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) contracts in Ohio during year one of President Trump’s second term.
The research includes an analysis of a variety of contracts between various counties and municipalities and ICE and/or the U.S. Marshals Service related to immigration enforcement, transportation, and detention: (1) jail bed space contracts, (2) jail transport services, and (3) 287(g) agreements [jail enforcement model, task force model, and warrant service officer model.]
The ACLU of Ohio sent cautionary letters to all Ohio entities that have at least one type of immigration related contract urging them to rescind all current engagements. Take action to contact these local officials.
