Don’t Ask, Do Tell: Local Law Enforcement Collaboration with ICE/CBP

This research memo represents the first in a series reporting results of UWCHR’s new initiative on Human Rights at Home, which we hope will help increase transparency and inform human rights advocates, the public, and our elected leaders on immigrant rights issues in our state. As part of this effort, UWCHR has requested information from Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and other agencies, as well as from immigrant communities and civil rights advocates, about immigration enforcement in Washington. This memo reports findings from an initial survey of local law enforcement agencies about their collaboration with federal authorities on such matters.
