When will officers not assist ICE?

• A. During routine police work
• B. If there are Exigent Circumstances
• C. At hospitals, religious organizations, schools
• D. When ordered by their supervisor

Answer: (C)

Officers will refrain from assisting ICE at hospitals, religious organizations, and schools due to the sensitive nature of these environments and the imperative to protect individuals' safety and privacy. These locations often serve vulnerable populations who may be deterred from seeking medical help, accessing education, or participating in religious services if they fear immigration enforcement. Therefore, municipal policies and guidelines typically prioritize the need for these important community services to remain accessible, fostering trust and safety rather than fear among residents. This policy reflects a commitment to protecting the dignity and rights of individuals in these critical spaces, which is why officers do not engage with ICE in these contexts.
