A Wyoming sheriff who refused to hold onto inmates for federal immigration authorities without a criminal warrant changed course Wednesday, and now will honor civil detention requests from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Teton County Sheriff Matt Carr will now hold suspected illegal immigrants for up to 48 hours after their scheduled jail release date, at ICE’s request and without a judge-signed warrant, he announced in a Wednesday statement.

Carr’s announcement follows months of controversy, in which U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyoming, vowed to address Carr’s prior policy of not honoring civil detainers, and ICE said that Carr’s jail had released 103 illegal immigrants before ICE could retrieve them, over a roughly two-year timespan.

Carr’s pivot was announced on the same day a U.S. House of Representatives committee grilled four mayors of major American cities about their supposed sanctuary-city policies.
