Rumors floated around social media Tuesday that ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) was in Carson City making arrests.
However, according to Undersheriff Jerome Tushbant, the sheriff’s office has not been contacted about any operations in Carson City, and no arrests have been made to his knowledge.
“We have a pretty good working relationship with the federal agencies,” Tushbant said, adding any time they are working operations within CCSO jurisdiction, they contact the department.
Tushbant said one social media post mentioned seeing a cargo van that some had misidentified as an ICE van. However, he said, from what he’d been told this was just a library vehicle.
We will update with new information if it becomes available.
