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.

287(g) agencies, by program model
Click any dot to view the agency's agreement and records.
Dot size scales with sworn officer count (FBI LEE).
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.

Dots mark where an agency is based, not the area it covers. Jurisdiction boundaries are in the works.
The three agreement types
Warrant Service Officer
This is the most limited model. Officers execute ICE administrative warrants on specific named individuals already incarcerated or detained.
549 agencies
Jail Enforcement
If officers suspect a person is illegally in the country and is detained, they can check databases or interview them about their citizenship.
180 agencies
Task Force
This is the broadest authorization. Officers work alongside ICE agents in the community to make immigration arrests.
1,733 agencies
How participation has grown
Active 287(g) agreements by model in the U.S., since Dec 2024.
2,462 agreements across 2,109 agencies.
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.
