Wichita council decides not to consider resolution banning city-ICE agreements

Wichita City Council members abruptly ended their meeting Tuesday after discussing – and deciding not to consider – a resolution that would bar the city and police from making an agreement with ICE and the federal government to enforce immigration laws. District 1 council member Joseph Shepard said he has been talking with community members and advocates about immigration issues and concerns since February, and many of them have called upon him to introduce a Wichita trust and safety resolution. The resolution would publicly state that the city and the Wichita Police Department will not collaborate with the federal government to enforce federal immigration laws and deportations, also known as ICE’s 287(g) program. The city does not now have a 287(g) agreement, and the Wichita Police Department has previously said it has no intention of entering into one. “My original response to the community was, we have a police chief who has said we will not lock into a 287(g) agreement,” Shepard said at the meeting Tuesday night. “I feel very strongly that having the commitment from the police chief, while means a lot, it is not a policy. … The reality is that roles change, and that policy is

Wichita-area boys soccer made a powerful statement on the state’s biggest stage in 2026, claiming two of Kansas’ three state championships and filling four of the six spots in the title games. Kapaun Mt. Carmel and Rose Hill brought home championship trophies, Maize South and Berean Academy finished as runners-up, and Wichita East added another semifinal appearance to a postseason that showcased the remarkable depth of soccer talent across south-central Kansas. Here are key takeaways: Kapaun Mt. Carmel ended a 29-year championship drought with a 3-1 comeback win over Maize South in the Class 5A final , scoring three unanswered goals after conceding first — something the Crusaders had failed to do all season — to claim their first title since 1997. Longtime Rose Hill coach Jerry Treat retired after a 5-0 win over Berean Academy in the Class 4-1A championship , his fourth title at Rose Hill and fifth overall in a career that began in 1992 and produced 359 victories. Rose Hill senior Brady Liebl, a Creighton commit, and senior defender Caedon Defoor, headed to Truman State for baseball, closed out a friendship that began on youth fields at age 4 , with Liebl breaking the program’s career
