287(g) Program
North Dakota
As of August 21, 2026
Agency Locations
How participation has grown
Active 287(g) agreements by model, since Dec 2024.
20 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 August 21, 2026
North Dakota is a 287(g) participant: Dickinson Police Department and the Dunn and McKenzie county sheriff's offices signed agreements in spring 2025, most participating agencies joined during 2025, and the statewide Bureau of Criminal Investigation joined in summer 2026, with county sheriff's offices making up nearly all of the state's Task Force Model agreements. The corpus contains relatively little 287(g) news about North Dakota compared with most of the country, but limited coverage does not mean that participation is not occurring.
