Steuben County Sheriff Jim Allard met with ICE recently and he says the Steuben County Jail will take in federal ICE prisoners who are remanded judicially. Allard says the county jail now has room for ICE prisoners. There will be another meeting between the sheriff and ICE within the next two weeks. In exchange for holding ICE prisoners, the county gets reimbursed $130 dollars a day, as well as expenses for transportation and any needed medical costs. The sheriff also says this will be the first time Steuben County Jail has housed ICE prisoners since 2015.
