How participation has grown
Active 287(g) agreements by model, since Dec 2024.
30 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 Virginia
Updated July 7, 2026
Virginia's approach to 287(g) reversed course sharply in early 2026, when new Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger ordered state law-enforcement agencies out of their ICE agreements—undoing a February 2025 directive from former Governor Glenn Youngkin that had pushed state cooperation. ICE now lists 28 participating agencies in Virginia, most of them local sheriff's offices whose contracts remain in force, leaving the state's posture split between a governor pulling back and counties that continue to work with ICE.
