Crow Wing County, MN: Residents Demand Termination of ICE/USMS Jail Agreement and Two 287(g) Pacts at June 23 Board Meeting

At a packed June 23, 2026 county board meeting in Brainerd, Minnesota, seven of eight residents demanded that Crow Wing County commissioners withdraw from their ICE agreements: an intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. Marshals Service authorizing ICE use of the Crow Wing County Jail (passed unanimously on the consent agenda in August 2025, at $102/day per detainee), plus two 287(g) agreements — one task-force model and one warrant-service-officer model. The ACLU mobilized community attendance. Commissioners have not voted to change the agreements; the pressure remained live with continued coverage on June 25.

This is a characteristic local IGSA/287(g) resistance fight in the detention-pipeline lane: exposure that accumulated quietly (a consent-agenda vote with no substantive debate) now drawing organized public pushback toward a possible formal termination resolution. The task-force 287(g) agreement is the higher-risk instrument (broader ICE cross-designation of local officers). Part of the broader 2026 wave of county-level IGSA/287(g) contests (Bradford County FL, Orange County FL, the Tennessee HB2219 mandate, the NJ/NY 287(g) bans).
