How participation has grown
Active 287(g) agreements by model, since Dec 2024.
10 agreements.
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.
News coverage of ICE's 287(g) program in Arizona
Updated July 27, 2026
Arizona's local immigration enforcement landscape is driven by the implementation of Proposition 314, a voter-approved measure empowering state and local police to arrest suspected unauthorized immigrants. While a federal judge allowed the state law to take effect for now, local 287(g) partnerships—which currently include 9 participating agencies statewide—have faced pushback elsewhere, highlighted by a court blocking a unilateral agreement in Pinal County and the state challenging federal funding conditions.
