High schoolers were among those who were stopped around Heber, according to the Wasatch Latino Coalition.

The Summit County Sheriff’s Office and Park City Police Department told KPCW that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers were in Park City Wednesday morning for operations.

ICE notified Summit County dispatch prior to the operation, according to sheriff’s spokesperson Skyler Talbot, and agents said they had finished operations and left Summit County as of 9:30 a.m.

“My understanding is that the entirety of their operations were in Park City proper,” Talbot said.

Park City police Lt. Danielle Snelson said the enforcement was “targeted” and that the department “was not asked to assist in any fashion.” She did not confirm reports from eyewitnesses who saw or photographed agents in multiple locations early April 29.
