287(g) Program
North Dakota
As of July 9, 2026
Agency Locations
How participation has grown
Active 287(g) agreements by model, since Dec 2024.
15 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 7, 2026
ICE lists 10 participating 287(g) agencies in North Dakota, placing the state in the middle of the national pack by agency count and near the bottom among its Midwestern neighbors, ahead of only Minnesota, Michigan, Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois. Local police in the state's largest cities have publicly drawn a line — declining to enforce federal immigration law themselves while pledging to protect federal agents — even as jails have absorbed a sharp rise in immigration detainees.
