US EditionPokin Around: ICE Arrested One of 'Kennett's Best'; She's Here in Jail but Kennett Wants Her Back Home - Springfield Daily Citizen
- In 2024, Ozark County Sheriff Cass Martin secured funding from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement totaling $1.1 million to detain immigrants in local Missouri jails, helping to alleviate his department’s budget shortfall.
- This contract stemmed from the Trump administration's reliance on local jails for detention to advance a large-scale mass deportation agenda.
- The agreement pays $110 per detainee night and $1.10 per transport mile, enabling Martin to raise jail staff pay from $13 to $18 hourly and hire recruits.
