The Greer County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during its June 29, 2026, meeting.
Commissioner Brent York moved to approve the MOA between the Greer County Sheriff's Office and ICE; Commissioner Steven Fite seconded. The minutes record the vote as "York-aye; Barnes-aye; Fite-aye." The MOA was described in the minutes as enabling "Sheriff's Office Deputies the authority to perform certain immigration enforcement functions." The minutes do not list a dollar amount, an effective date beyond the meeting date, or implementation details such as training requirements or scope limitations.
Sheriff Steve McMahan had earlier briefed the commissioners on countywide crime issues and inmate matters; the MOA vote followed that update. The minutes do not record debate or public comment opposing or supporting the MOA beyond the formal motion and recorded ayes.
The agreement as recorded in the minutes is a formal, board-approved MOA; any operational implementation, including staff training, oversight, or reporting, would be recorded in later documents or future minutes if the sheriff's office pursues those steps.
