How participation has grown
Active 287(g) agreements by model, since Dec 2024.
28 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 27, 2026
Virginia has become a major flashpoint over local immigration enforcement following Governor Abigail Spanberger's sweeping rollback of state-level 287(g) agreements and the enactment of new laws restricting local police cooperation with ICE. The state's limits on federal immigration partnerships have triggered intense pushback, including a Department of Justice lawsuit that temporarily blocked parts of the legislation and resistance from local sheriffs determined to maintain their ICE collaborations.
