How participation has grown
Active 287(g) agreements by model, since Dec 2024.
8 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 7, 2026
South Dakota has 7 law-enforcement agencies participating in ICE's 287(g) program, a count anchored by a statewide push from Gov. Larry Rhoden that began with the Highway Patrol in 2025 and has since drawn in state corrections, the National Guard, and the first municipal police department. The signature effort, Operation Prairie Thunder, has expanded across 2025 and into 2026 even as tribal governments and some city officials have pushed back.
