How participation has grown
Active 287(g) agreements by model, since Dec 2024.
4 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.

Updated September 4, 2026
Iowa’s documented local cooperation with ICE includes a state Department of Public Safety task-force agreement and county jail detention arrangements, amid increased immigration-enforcement activity in the state. The cooperation has remained contested, with some Iowa officials declining or challenging formal participation while reports describe broader coordination between state law enforcement and ICE.
