Overview
- ICE’s Feb. 27 update lists 1,493 signed 287(g) agreements, including 152 Jail Enforcement, 472 Warrant Service Officer and 869 Task Force models across dozens of states.
- Denver’s mayor issued an order letting local police intervene if federal agents use potentially deadly force, record ICE actions on body cameras when safe, investigate alleged misconduct and bar use of city property without a valid warrant.
- Virginia’s Executive Order 12 cancels all 287(g) pacts in the state, redirects police to prioritize criminal violations over civil immigration enforcement and confirms ICE may still conduct operations.
- South Carolina lawmakers are weighing a bill backed by Rep. Travis Moore to require jail-operating agencies to enter 287(g) agreements, verify detainee status with DHS and risk state funding if they refuse.
- Public tallies vary on the number of participating states—reported between 37 and 40—while county-level counts show Texas and Florida with the most participation, at 181 and 64 counties respectively.
