287(g) Program
North Dakota
As of July 21, 2026
Agency Locations
How participation has grown
Active 287(g) agreements by model, since Dec 2024.
16 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 Dakota
Updated July 27, 2026
Multiple North Dakota law enforcement agencies actively participate in the 287(g) program, with several local departments signing agreements last year and the statewide Bureau of Criminal Investigation joining this summer. There is relatively little 287(g) news about the state compared with most of the country, but this sparse coverage does not mean immigration enforcement partnerships are inactive.
