Summary
Council adopted an amended resolution condemning activities by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, adding a reference to pending state-level proposals to bar local deputization and 287(g) agreements.
The Troy City Council adopted a resolution condemning recent actions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and opposing future funding. Council member McKe proposed an amendment adding a whereas paragraph citing a state-level initiative described in the meeting to prohibit deputization of local law enforcement for federal civil immigration enforcement and to eliminate 287(g)-style agreements; the amendment carried and the council approved the amended resolution.
Council members framed the resolution as a statement in favor of due process and targeted enforcement focused on criminal activity rather than broad sweeps of immigrant communities. Several public speakers and organizers thanked the council and urged further steps to protect residents, including community alerts and practical measures to document and respond to ICE activity locally.
The resolution passed without recorded no votes.
