ICE partnerships with local law enforcement triple as Trump continues deportation crackdown
CBSN
As President Trump aims to carry out what he's called "the largest mass deportation in history," U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been rapidly expanding a program that deputizes local law enforcement to perform immigration enforcement duties.
As of Thursday afternoon, April 17, there were 456 active 287(g) agreements, or partnerships between ICE and local agencies — more than three times as many as there were in December 2024, according to data on ICE's website. An additional 63 agreements were still pending.
While some of the agreements only grant permission for local law enforcement to ask questions about immigration status at a jail book-in, an increasing number follow what ICE calls a "task force model," giving local authorities the ability to carry out immigration enforcement duties during routine policing, such as during a traffic stop.
