ICE and Working with Local Law Enforcement

Mindy Todd / WCAI
Public information session with Barnstable County Sheriff Cummings and ICE representatives.

Barnstable County Sheriff Jim Cummings has become the third sheriff in the state to opt into Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s 287 (g) program, making the sheriff’s department a delegated authority for immigration enforcement. We sit in on a public information session with ICE and Sheriff Cummings, and discuss how the 287 (g) program in Bristol County under Sheriff Hodgson has impacted New Bedford immigrants. 

Guests joining Mindy Todd on the program are Dylan Fernandes, State Representative for Nantucket and Dukes Counties and portions of Barnstable County; and Helena DaSilva Hughes, Executive Director, Immigrants Assistance Center.
