287(g) Program
West Virginia
As of July 9, 2026
Agency Locations
How participation has grown
Active 287(g) agreements by model, since Dec 2024.
38 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 West Virginia
Updated July 7, 2026
West Virginia now has 38 law-enforcement agencies participating in ICE's 287(g) program, a partnership Gov. Patrick Morrisey has championed since early 2025 and that ICE credits with more than 650 arrests during a two-week January 2026 surge. Federal judges have since ruled several of those arrests unconstitutional, an ACLU-backed report found most detainees had no criminal record, and the state's jails stopped accepting new civil immigration detainees amid overcrowding.
