287(g) Program
New Hampshire
As of August 21, 2026
Agency Locations
How participation has grown
Active 287(g) agreements by model, since Dec 2024.
26 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 New Hampshire
Updated July 27, 2026
Following a statewide mandate enacted last year, New Hampshire law enforcement agencies have expanded their participation in ICE's 287(g) program, deputizing local officers across numerous municipalities and the State Police to reach a total of 25 active partnerships. The growth in participation has brought federal funding and resulted in dozens of arrests of people facing removal, though the program has faced local pushback that prompted at least one sheriff's office to terminate its agreement.
