How participation has grown
Active 287(g) agreements by model, since Dec 2024.
10 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 Minnesota
Updated July 7, 2026
ICE lists nine participating 287(g) agencies in Minnesota, most of them rural sheriff's offices that signed on beginning in spring 2025, placing the state near the middle of the pack nationally by agency count. Those agreements are now the center of a legal and political fight: Attorney General Keith Ellison has said sheriffs cannot sign the deals on their own, the ACLU has sued at least one county, and DFL bills to ban the partnerships have stalled in the divided Legislature.
