• ICE Video Stirring Controversy Happened In New York, Not Illinois: Oswego Police, Fire Departments (patch.com) — Oswego, Illinois officials are reassuring residents that a viral video showing firefighters helping ICE agents during a rooftop standoff involves departments in Oswego, New York, not their own. Local fire and police leaders emphasize they had no role in the incident and explain that Illinois law generally bars local police from assisting with federal civil immigration enforcement, urging residents not to direct anger at Oswego, Illinois personnel.
