Agency Locations
How participation has grown
Active 287(g) agreements by model, since Dec 2024.
23 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 Ohio
Updated July 27, 2026
Law enforcement agencies across Ohio maintain a fractured approach to immigration enforcement, with several rural police departments and county sheriffs participating in federal partnerships while major cities actively restrict data sharing. While multiple agencies maintain active agreements with federal authorities and several sheriffs rely on lucrative detention contracts, municipalities across the state have moved this year to block immigration officials from accessing local license-plate reader networks.
