Chesapeake Sheriff's Office expanding partnership with ICE
CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) — The Chesapeake Sheriff's Office recently announced an expansion of its partnership with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
According to a release, the expansion is part of an Intergovernmental Service Agreement (IGSA) first discussed in 2022 to offer ICE a 72-hour window to complete custody or removal deportation proceedings at the Chesapeake Correctional Center.
'This finalized agreement reflects Sheriff Rosado's ongoing commitment to keeping our community safe and his dedication to building strong working relationships with federal, state and local agencies,' the release states.
The agreement marks the first of its kind for the Hampton Roads region.
The expansion comes as the Trump Administration works to deport people in the country illegally in record numbers, even at one point offering immigrants in the United States illegally $1,000 to leave voluntarily.
