Missouri
ICE detentions are complex, a number are in Missouri, the impacts hit St. Louis
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) – Immigration has been a hot-button issue for quite some time — and with national protests over the role that agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement play in the modern world, it can be tough to unpack ICE operations or detainments.
First Alert 4’s Avery Martinez and Cameron Bopp dug into the details of how detainment operates in Missouri, what those held by ICE face and the data of how these operations work.
Recently, a person held in ICE custody at the Ste. Genevieve County Detention Center passed away.
Avery Martinez covers water, ag & the environment for First Alert 4. He is also a Report for America corps member, as well as a member of the Mississippi River Basin Ag & Water Desk. His coverage ranges from the NWS resignations to water infrastructure, TikTok farmers to buffalo health.
