ICE opening Flagstaff office: Residents worry about tactics, tourism and terror
The city of Flagstaff is preparing for the opening of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office, with residents distributing information packets to immigrant families on how to prepare for potential ICE actions. The ICE office will be used by the agency's Enforcement and Removal Operations division.
Residents in Flagstaff are preparing for the opening of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in the city. On April 8, volunteers from Keep Flagstaff Together distributed information packets to immigrant families, providing instructions on how to create an action plan in case of ICE detention. The packets included contact information for local immigration attorneys and the Flagstaff Police Department's policies on immigration enforcement. The city confirmed on April 9 that ICE had signed a lease for an office space at 1585 S. Plaza Way. The office will be used by ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations division. Flagstaff is not the first city in Arizona to have ICE agents, but the expansion has sparked concerns among some residents about ICE tactics and the impact on the community.
