Active 287(g) agreements by model, since Dec 2024.
59 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 Kentucky
Updated September 21, 2026
Kentucky has seen a sharp expansion of local law-enforcement cooperation with ICE, with 55 agencies reported to have 287(g) agreements in 2026 and nearly 5,000 ICE arrests recorded since the start of the Trump administration. The expansion has increased the role of Kentucky jails in federal immigration enforcement while prompting scrutiny of detainer practices, detention conditions and access to medical care.
