ICE, Ogden Police and Flock Cameras | One Ogden Now
What is Ogden Police supposed to do when ICE is making an arrest? How involved are Weber County deputies in federal immigration enforcement? And who gets to decide where Flock license-plate cameras operate?
Kiki Bushman and Jefferson Shepherd dig into three connected debates over policing, immigration and surveillance in Weber County.
We start in Ogden, where residents are pushing city leaders for a clearer policy defining the role of Ogden Police when ICE is making an arrest. Mayor Ben Nadolski says the city had already been working toward putting guidance in writing.
Then we look at Weber County's participation in the federal 287(g) program. Deputies logged 236 hours of reimbursable ICE work from January through July. KUER's reporting also found that 35 of 91 people arrested through Ogden's 287(g) program had no prior criminal history.
KUER reporter Macy Lipkin joins us to talk about what she's learned covering immigration in Utah: the abandoned Salt Lake City ICE detention-center proposal, immigration-court backlogs and accelerated case closures, DACA renewal delays, Weber County's ICE agreement and why Ogden has become one of Utah's more active cities for immigration enforcement.
Finally, we return to Flock license-plate cameras. Washington Terrace canceled its own three-camera trial, but Weber County already operates cameras inside the city. Now city leaders are asking whether those cameras can be removed or deactivated — and raising larger questions about who owns the cameras, who controls the data and whether a city can simply say no.

Amy Wicks on the 21st Street Pond
Former Ogden City Council member Amy Wicks was in office when the city entered into an agreement involving the 21st Street Pond.
Amy talks about what the council knew about the pond, when they found out about the agreement with Goode Ski Technologies, and why the arrangement raised questions about the balance of power between the mayor, city council and the public. She also discusses the city's relationship with Goode, the condition of the pond today, and whether the terms of the agreement are actually being followed.
This is one chapter of One Ogden's ongoing look at the history of the 21st Street Pond — from its creation and contamination to its eventual use as a private waterski facility.
We're talking to people who were there, looking at the documents, and trying to understand how we got here.
