CLEARWATER COUNTY, Idaho - In a press release on Thursday, the Clearwater County Sheriff’s Office announced that they have entered into the ICE 287(b) Memorandum of Agreement under the Warrant Service Model.

This model allows selected personnel to get federal authorization and training to do immigration-related duties. This will mostly be related to people that are already in custody who have immigration warrants.

Officials wanted to stress that officers will not be federal immigration agents with the new agreement.
