ICE Proposes Liability Insurance Subsidy for Local Immigration Officers
The proposal would reimburse officers up to $250 a year for coverage that could pay as much as $500,000 in claims.
- On Friday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement proposed a plan to subsidize liability insurance for local officers deputized to enforce federal immigration laws, offering up to $500,000 in personal liability coverage.
- Partnerships have soared since President Donald Trump returned to the White House, with nearly 1,600 agencies now participating across 32 states, though departments previously hesitated due to civil liability concerns.
- ICE seeks a contractor to manage the initiative, with industry feedback requested by Thursday, and participating officers would receive reimbursement of up to $250 annually for insurance premiums.
- National Sheriffs' Association executive director Justin Smith called the plan "promising," while Cato Institute director of immigration studies David Bier criticized it, saying ICE guarantees law enforcement avoids "violating Americans' rights while helping ICE arrest people."
- ICE enforcement has intensified, with arrests averaging 3,000 per month in early 2026 compared to 250 monthly under President Joe Biden, though a lack of centralized data in Vermont obscures the full scope of activity.
