Cumberland County Jail

Sheriff Kevin Joyce said his department is squeezed between people who want an end to cooperation with ICE and those who want to see even more collaboration.

ICE's interest in the teenager - who was arrested over an apparently minor dispute with her sibling - raised concerns amid Trump's immigration crackdown.

William Doyle, executive director of the National Correctional Employees Union, said the complaint was prompted by a decision to begin housing federal inmates as of last month. Doyle said the jail is already under-staffed, and the additional inmates have put a strain on working conditions.

The complaint alleges that James Mannion had been receiving medication to treat his opioid use disorder but was denied his repeated requests for the same medication by Armour Correctional Health Care Services once he entered jail.
