How participation has grown
Active 287(g) agreements by model, since Dec 2024.
2 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 Mexico
Updated July 27, 2026
New Mexico banned 287(g) agreements and local ICE detention contracts statewide following the passage of the Immigrant Safety Act earlier this year. The state attorney general filed lawsuits against the sheriffs of Curry and Torrance counties in May after they refused to terminate their local immigration enforcement partnerships in defiance of the new law.
