The City of Cleveland is responding after reported ICE sightings within the city. This comes as continued Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations take place throughout the country.
According to the city, Cleveland Police recently reviewed multiple reported ICE sightings but discovered they were unfounded.
"The Cleveland Division of Police (CDP) has reviewed multiple reported ICE sightings and, to date, has found no evidence of ICE raids in Cleveland," the city said in post on X. "While not federally required, we have not been notified that ICE is conducting any immigration-related operations within the city."
The city went on to say that Cleveland officers don't ask about someone's immigration status when interacting with the public.
"CDP is tasked with protecting public safety, and while they will take action against anyone who commits violent crimes, they are not responsible for enforcing general federal immigration law."
