The expansion of local police cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement under the Trump administration is increasingly exposing immigrants who report crimes or seek emergency assistance to detention and possible deportation, according to a report published by The Marshall Project.
The report centers on the case of Axel Sanchez Toledo, a Florida father who called 911 in December requesting a welfare check on his sick 4-year-old daughter. Deputies with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office initially spoke with him about the request before detaining him for ICE after determining he was undocumented, according to court records and body camera footage reviewed by the publication.
