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 27, 2026
The Iowa Department of Public Safety's entry into a 287(g) task force agreement last year has expanded state-level immigration enforcement, prompting civil rights complaints over state troopers initiating ICE arrests during routine traffic stops. While the state's attorney general and legislature have pushed local agencies to strictly honor federal immigration requests, some sheriffs and city councils continue to resist or debate the limits of their cooperation with ICE.
