How participation has grown
Active 287(g) agreements by model, since Dec 2024.
1 agreement.
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 Massachusetts
Updated July 7, 2026
Massachusetts has just one agency in ICE's 287(g) program — the state Department of Correction — placing it near the bottom nationally by agency count and among the lowest of any Northeast state. That single contract, along with informal cooperation by some local police and sheriffs, has become the focus of Beacon Hill legislation and executive action aimed at limiting ICE's reach.
