Statement Regarding ICE Arrests in Marshall County

Today, questions have arisen regarding the recent arrests in Marshall County involving three individuals taken into custody by Federal ICE Agents. I want to provide clarity and transparency on this matter.

The Marshall County Sheriff’s Office was notified in advance by ICE that their agents would be operating in our area. In coordination with federal authorities, I granted permission for agents to use the Sheriff’s Office booking room to process the individuals before their transfer to the Northern Regional Jail.

My office remains committed to upholding the law and ensuring the safety and security of all Marshall County residents. We will continue to cooperate with federal, state, and local law enforcement as appropriate, and we are dedicated to maintaining open communication with our community regarding law enforcement activities.
