The City of Hartford is making their position on the detention of undocumented workers and illegal immigrants known.

Hartford Police Chief Daryl Roberts said in a press release Friday, that “If ICE or some other federal agency makes a specific request concerning suspected or actual criminal activity, then the Hartford Police Department will provide available support services during these federal operations. We will hold or detain persons suspected of criminal activity, upon request. However, the HPD will not honor any request from ICE to hold or detain a person where a civil or administrative warrant is involved.”
