US EditionBucks County Sheriff Terminates Partnership With ICE
- On Jan. 14, 2026, Bucks County Sheriff Danny Ceisler announced he terminated his office's partnership with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at a press conference outside the Bucks County Justice Center, Doylestown.
- Following his swearing-in on Jan. 5, 2026, Ceisler moved to end the ICE partnership, saying it fulfilled a campaign promise and responded to immigrant community feedback.
- Signing two orders, Ceisler revoked the 287 program and placed a moratorium on training 16 deputies, with no detentions made under the Bucks County Sheriff's Office expansion.
- Federal officials responded that the decision immediately halts deputizing county deputies but does not stop ICE from operating locally or accessing Bucks County Department of Corrections, and criticized it for complicating removal of dangerous criminals.
- Against that national backdrop, Bucks County is home to more than 50,000 immigrant residents, and officials said ending the 287 program aims to reduce fear that kept residents from calling 911 or coming to court.
