287(g) Watch

Every active 287(g) agreement between local police and ICE

Under Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, local police agencies can sign agreements with ICE that authorize their officers to perform immigration enforcement. The program has expanded dramatically since 2025.

As of July 9, 2026

The timeline follows ICE's 287(g) data since December, 2024, the last report before Trump took office. Dots appear as agreements based on their signing date and fade out when an agency drops off ICE's roster. So far, we have not obtained the data released by ICE from January to March 4, 2025. If agencies signed on and left the program during that period, our data will not reflect them.

72 statewide agencies aren't shown on the map.

Dots mark where an agency is based, not the area it covers. Jurisdiction boundaries are in the works.

Experimental (#162). Each line counts active agency–model agreements, so an agency with two models counts once per model. Changes are dated by when they appear in ICE's published list; the Dec 2024 level carries everything signed before then, and the archive has no snapshots between mid-Dec 2024 and early Mar 2025, so the lines run flat there.
