⚠️Action Alert: Updated Intergovernmental Agreement Between Steuben County and the U.S. Marshals Service

Steuben County Sheriff Jim Allard is seeking approval from the Steuben County Legislature to sign an updated intergovernmental agreement that allows federal prisoners (including ICE detainees) to be housed in the Steuben County Jail. The updated agreement will increase the per diem rate that the county charges the federal government. Contrary to some reports, the agreement does NOT authorize the construction of an ICE detention facility in Steuben County.

A resolution on the agreement will be discussed during the Steuben County Legislature meeting on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, 10:00 a.m., at the Steuben County Annex (20 E Morris St, Bath, NY 14810) What can you do?
