287(g) Program
Arizona
As of July 9, 2026
Agency Locations
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 7, 2026
ICE lists nine participating 287(g) agencies in Arizona, a mid-pack figure that leaves the state well behind Southwest neighbors like Texas (369 agencies) and Oklahoma (78). Most Arizona police departments have declined to sign on, but a bitter fight in Pinal County and a Republican bill to compel local cooperation have kept the program contested through mid-2026.
