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 York

Updated September 1, 2026

On August 25, 2026, New York put a statewide ban on local-government and law-enforcement 287(g) agreements and similar arrangements for civil immigration enforcement into effect. The law ended formal local deputization and limited local detention cooperation with ICE, while county sheriffs and the state litigated over its enforcement and scope.
