Comal County court approves addendum to allow ICE detainees under U.S. Marshals agreement
Summary
The Commissioners Court approved an addendum to the county's intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. Marshals Service that adds Immigration and Customs Enforcement as an authorized user, allowing the jail to hold ICE detainees under the existing terms; the court took no further changes to the agreement.
The Comal County Commissioners Court voted June 26 to authorize an addendum to the county's intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. Marshals Service to add Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as an authorized user. A county representative explained the change "will allow the jail to hold ICE detainees under the terms of that agreement," and said no other terms of the agreement would change.
Commissioner Hogg moved to approve the addendum and Commissioner Leacock seconded; the motion carried by voice vote. County staff emphasized the addendum only adds ICE as an authorized user and does not alter previously approved operational or financial terms of the agreement. No public comment or opposing motions were recorded during the item.
The court treated the item as an amendment to an existing intergovernmental agreement with federal partners; the presenter said the addendum simply extends authorization for an additional federal user. The court did not schedule further action on the item at the meeting.
