154 undocumented immigrants arrested in Laramie County, mostly from traffic stops

Feb 3, 2026 · Cheyenne, WY

Laramie County Sheriff's Office reports show that approximately 76% of 154 immigration arrests between October 2025 and February 2026 resulted from traffic stops, with deputies initiating immigration interviews following routine traffic violations. The 93 case reports reveal deputies also conducted immigration investigations following car accidents and while assisting ICE with warrant executions. Community members have raised concerns about potential racial profiling, though Sheriff Brian Kozak stated the office would end its 287(g) contracts if ICE conducted indiscriminate sweeps. The sheriff's office has received $280,000 from ICE for vehicles and equipment.
