Community groups urge Henderson County to renew 287g pact
Nine speakers pleaded with the Henderson County Board of Commissioners to keep the 287g immigration enforcement agreement with ICE. The Compassionate Action Group and First Congregational Church backed ending the pact, citing costs and a chilling climate, while supporters defended the program as a safety and efficiency measure despite questions about taxpayer burden.
