ICE officials spotted in Jackson

JACKSON, Wyoming (KIFI) - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials were recently in Teton county, Wyoming, to make 17 arrests, according to a report by Jackson Hole Community Radio. Local News 8 has been unable to confirm if any of those arrests were carried out.

However it has been confirmed that Teton County Sheriff Matt Carr received a call from a federal agent saying U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and “other federal agencies,” are in town for a search and had warrants, according to KHOL In Jackson.

“I heard 17 warrants but that is not confirmed,” Carr said in a text message to KHOL’s.

Early Friday morning, ICE agents were spotted outside the Latitude 43 apartment complex, the recently renamed Blair Apartments located west of the high school, according to a post by the Wyoming Immigrant Advocacy Project.

The Jackson police department told Local News 8 they are not involved nor have they assisted in the potential arrests, neither has the Teton county sheriff's office.

The move comes as controversial ICE arrests have been carried out across the nation, under the direction of the new Trump administration.

Local News 8 has reached out to the Wyoming Immigrant Advocacy Project and are awaiting a response.
