A shared culture of self-reliance. Hard work. Neighborly kindness.

In Wyoming, we respect each other's freedoms while looking out for people when they're in need.

But in communities across the state, local law enforcement officials have been sending an unmistakable message: Your friends and neighbors could be a target.

As the federal government continues to ramp up immigration operations and bring Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents into our communities, local law enforcement agencies are increasingly being pressured to assist with these efforts – and they're using 287(g) agreements to do so. These agreements create partnerships between ICE and local law enforcement, use taxpayer dollars and local personnel to serve the federal government's deportation agenda, and deputize Wyoming officers to act as immigration agents.

This is unacceptable.

We're calling on our elected officials to refuse to allow local law enforcement officers to act as ICE agents. Will you join us? Add your name to take a stand against 287(g) in Wyoming.

Together, we'll fight to keep our communities safe, fair, and free for everyone.
