Koval said he hopes there was a benign reason for the communication breakdown, but he said he likely won’t get any information over the weekend.

The police department has cooperated with ICE in the past when undocumented immigrants have been charged with violent crimes, but Koval said the department does not cooperate solely with immigration enforcement.

Undocumented immigrants in the community won’t feel safe reporting crimes if they are victims or witnesses if they fear they may face deportation, Koval said, which is why the department does not report immigration status unless it is relevant to a case.

“I don’t know that we could have a good index on what public safety issues are in our midst if there are people who are hesitant to report when they’re the victims or even if they’ve been the witnesses to crime,” Koval said.

Following the ICE detainments, the community is now in “hyper-warp distress mode,” Koval said.

“We are in no way or shape cooperating in this kind of enforcement,” Bidar-Sielaff said.
