This week at the City Council Study meeting agents from the federal Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) department spent roughly an hour briefing the Council and executive staff on the duties and priorities of the local office and answering questions. As a City this was beneficial as we were able to get a first hand account of some of the problems and procedures that we jointly face in the struggle against underground illegal activities. The agents were very candid about the challenges and frustrations that they face. This firsthand information will help West Valley City in developing effective strategies, procedures, and partnerships to assist the federal government with their charge of National Security. With this proactive step in reaching out to ICE, West Valley City continues to spread the message that criminals are not welcome here.
