Ashland residents urged the city council on the 10th to prohibit local police from assisting federal immigration enforcement, citing joint ICE-police operations and December 2025 arrests. As reported in TheAshlandDailyPress, resident Bailey Kroll proposed a resolution to bar the Ashland Police Department from aiding federal agents, sharing information on foreign-born individuals, or inquiring about immigration status. Council member Andrew Goyke supported a discussion, and residents also encouraged the Ashland County Sheriff’s Office to adopt the policy. This push mirrors a recent, similar policy in Washburn, which still permits safety support during ICE operations.
