Indiana AG accused of pushing local police-ICE agreements

Commenters are claiming an Indiana state attorney general is pressuring local communities to sign agreements between municipal police and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The stated concern is that such 287(g)-style arrangements could let ICE officers operate on the streets with minimal training, with a link shared to an ACLU article on immigrants' rights. The claim circulates as an unverified secondhand report, though it reflects wider worries about immigration enforcement being expanded through local police forces.
