'Loud and clear': Border state's legislature moves to back Trump's ICE on deportations
Fox News
Arizona's legislature will consider legislation to help Immigration and Customs Enforcement in its efforts to launch a mass deportation operation in the U.S.
The agreements are based on 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which allows ICE to delegate to state and local law enforcement officers certain immigration functions, including identifying and detaining suspected illegal immigrants.

"The 287(g) program allows ICE — through the delegation of specified immigration officer duties — to enhance collaboration with state and local law enforcement partners to protect the homeland through the arrest and removal of noncitizens who undermine the safety of our nation’s communities and the integrity of U.S. immigration laws," ICE’s website says.
