How participation has grown
Active 287(g) agreements by model, since Dec 2024.
11 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 South Dakota
Updated July 27, 2026
South Dakota expanded its immigration enforcement infrastructure beginning last year, securing multiple 287(g) agreements across state and county agencies and launching an ongoing collaborative initiative dubbed "Operation: Prairie Thunder." The statewide mobilization authorized the Highway Patrol, the Division of Criminal Investigation, the Department of Corrections, and the National Guard to directly assist federal authorities with processing and deportations.
