Statement from the City of Bloomington on federal immigration law enforcement in our community

Federal government agents are in our community to assist with the administration’s immigration law enforcement. According to the administration they are targeting individuals who are undocumented or who have committed crimes in their own countries or in the U.S.

Role of local law enforcement 

Bloomington police enforce only state and local laws — not federal immigration laws as this is the responsibility of the federal government. Bloomington police are not typically notified of federal operations. Bloomington police do not have the ability to check someone’s legal status and will not participate in federal immigration enforcement activity in our community. If protests or gatherings occur, Bloomington police may respond only to ensure safety and protect everyone present.

Bloomington Police serve everyone in our community

We recognize that the current actions regarding immigration may cause fear and concern. People in our community should not be afraid to call 911 when they are a victim of a crime or witness a crime, even if they are undocumented. The Bloomington Police Department’s job is to protect and serve everyone in the community. Their job is to keep everyone safe.

Watch Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges in an earlier recorded video, below, explaining the role of BPD in immigration enforcement and read FAQs on the City's website.
