Utah Department of Corrections enters into agreement with ICE

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (ABC4) — The Utah Department of Corrections has signed an agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), formalizing the relationship between the two organizations.

The Memorandum of Agreement will establish a warrant officer program for the Utah State Correctional Facility and the Central Utah Correctional Facility. UDC employees will be trained as officers to coordinate and share information directly with ICE.

“We are dedicated to protecting communities, and that’s what this relationship does. We will not tolerate those who come to our country illegally and victimize our citizens. We will continue to collaborate with our local, state, and federal partners to hold these people accountable,” UDC Executive Director Jared Garcia said in a press release Wednesday.

According to the UDC, the two organizations already have a long-standing history of cooperation in removing criminals after their sentences are completed.
