How participation has grown
Active 287(g) agreements by model, since Dec 2024.
2 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 Iowa
Updated July 7, 2026
Iowa's 287(g) footprint is thin at the local level — ICE lists just two participating agencies statewide, and no county sheriff has signed a task-force agreement despite pressure from the state sheriffs' association. Instead, the state's cooperation with ICE has flowed through Gov. Kim Reynolds' administration: a Department of Public Safety task force, National Guard support, and State Patrol assistance at weigh stations, alongside a growing jail-detention business that has drawn transparency lawsuits.
