Participation resistance flagged
Greg Yeager, Chief of Police · 2026-10-22
October 22 reporting attributes a decision not to join the voluntary 287(g) Task Force program to Chief Greg Yeager. Mayor Dan Gookin corroborated the department’s current lack of interest in the program. This supports a current leadership declination, not a permanent prohibition on every 287(g) model or ordinary federal cooperation. October 22 is the reporting date; the chief’s quoted September email has no exact date. No adopted council resolution is established. Coeur d’Alene Press reporting on October 22 attributes to Chief Greg Yeager the department’s intention not to join the 287(g) Task Force program “or partner with ICE”; the October 25 editorial repeats that wording. This is the reporter’s paraphrase, not a verbatim quotation from Yeager. IIAM interprets the broader phrase in the reporting’s 287(g) context. It does not independently establish refusal of routine cooperation with ICE or other federal authorities. These articles are from the same newspaper and are not independent confirmations.
