"The recent partnership between Trumpâs DHS and Columbus County Sheriffâs Office reflects a significant shift in how local law enforcement addresses federal immigration laws."
"Sheriff Bill Rogers is navigating a tumultuous period marked by lawsuits, accusations of police violence, and a controversial history involving his predecessor."
In early 2025, Sheriff Bill Rogers of Columbus County, North Carolina, faced controversies involving his department's handling of inmate care and allegations of police assault. Following a turbulent year and a history of scanda, including a predecessor's resignation over racist remarks, Rogers' office secured a partnership with the Trump administration's DHS. This 287(g) agreement enables local authorities to assist in federal immigration enforcement, marking an increase in local collaborations with ICE amid a broader effort to implement mass deportations as promised during Trump's campaign.
