Butler County, Pennsylvania, has terminated its “sanctuary” designation and will now cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when dealing with illegal immigrants as the area faces a fentanyl crisis and an uptick in trafficking crimes.
A sanctuary city or county doesn’t cooperate with ICE in its efforts to remove illegal immigrants, such as by refusing to hold illegal immigrants in custody in compliance with ICE detainers or not allowing ICE agents to gain access to those who are already in their custody.
