Active 287(g) agreements by model, since Dec 2024.
34 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 October 7, 2026
North Carolina’s 2026 law requiring several state law-enforcement agencies to enter 287(g) agreements with ICE took effect in October, bringing designated state officers into immigration-enforcement roles during some routine duties and custodial operations. The agreements expand formal state and local cooperation with ICE beyond jail-based work, while reported street operations, legal concerns and community opposition have increased scrutiny of how that authority is used.
