Two court clerks in Utah have been arrested on charges they helped an individual avoid detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, according to court documents.

The arrests represent the latest incident in ongoing tensions between local government employees and federal immigration enforcement efforts. Court records indicate the clerks allegedly took actions to help an ICE enforcement target evade arrest by immigration officers.

Specific details about the methods used or the timing of the alleged assistance were not immediately available in the court filings. The names of the arrested clerks and the courthouse where they worked have not been publicly released.

The case highlights continuing friction between federal immigration enforcement and local officials across the country. Similar disputes have emerged in various jurisdictions over the extent to which local employees should cooperate with or resist federal immigration operations.

Federal authorities have not yet announced whether additional charges are being considered in the case. The arrested clerks are expected to appear in court for initial proceedings in the coming days.
