Impact analysis
Partnering with ICE could lead to expensive legal battles and potential hits to the city's budget from state or federal grant reallocations.
Proponents of stricter immigration enforcement and those who believe local police should have broader federal authority will likely support this move.
Immigrant communities in Keller might feel less safe reporting crimes, and the city could face backlash from civil rights groups.
