How participation has grown
Active 287(g) agreements by model, since Dec 2024.
28 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 North Carolina
Updated July 7, 2026
ICE lists 26 participating 287(g) agencies in North Carolina, and the state's involvement deepened sharply in 2025 and 2026 as more sheriff's offices signed on and several adopted the more aggressive task-force model. A new state law enacted over Gov. Josh Stein's veto in June 2026 now mandates that sheriffs and state agencies cooperate with ICE, ending local discretion that had produced sharp splits among the state's sheriffs.
