ICE 287(g) Partnerships Reach Nearly 2,600 Agreements

ICE says its 287(g) program now includes nearly 2,600 agreements with state and local law-enforcement agencies across 39 states and two territories.

The program delegates specified immigration-enforcement functions to trained local officers under federal supervision. Supporters argue it expands public-safety capacity; opponents contend that broad local participation can blur responsibilities and affect community trust.
