Five people were taken into ICE custody in Moroni, Utah, after immigration agents rode along with North Valley Police Department officers conducting traffic stops for infractions like speeding or broken lights near the town's turkey-processing plant. Deputy Chief Logan Ludvigson said local officers performed the stops and transport while ICE decided whom to detain, with the five first brought to the police station before being turned over to ICE. The North Valley and Gunnison Valley police departments signed 287(g) task force agreements with ICE in August, allowing local officers to make immigration arrests during routine duties. ICE confirmed the five arrests and said the operation did not target the turkey plant business, describing it as part of ongoing nationwide enforcement by its Enforcement and Removal Operations officers, but did not release the identities of those arrested or confirm whether they worked at the plant. The arrests spread fear through Moroni's Hispanic community, with some residents avoiding stores and keeping children home from school.
