(Coraopolis, PA) Coraopolis terminated its police department’s partnership with ICE after a 4-3 vote by its borough council on Thursday night after a hearing from numerous residents who opposed the deal inked earlier this month. This vote officially ended the Coraopolis Borough’s participation in the 287(g) program, which deputizes local law enforcement to act on behalf of ICE, although Coraopolis borough council and police Chief Jason Stewart stated that the department will still assist the federal government if it is called upon.
