Active 287(g) agreements by model, since Dec 2024.
8 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.

Montana’s documented local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement centers on Gallatin County’s 287(g) agreement, which was paused during litigation, while Helena adopted limits on police assistance to federal immigration agents. The disputes have produced state-level investigations and court challenges over how much authority Montana counties and cities must provide to federal immigration officials.
