A law enforcement agency can sign up under multiple models, depending on what resources they have, such as a jail. Florida and Texas lead the nation with roughly half of all 287(g) agreements, driven in part by state laws requiring ICE 287(g) cooperation. Law enforcement officers and protesters gather outside the Glenn Valley Foods plant in south Omaha, Nebraska, on June 10, 2025. “It’s going to encourage some law enforcement departments to put immigration enforcement over the real public-safety needs of that particular community,” Rush Chimpan said. According to ICE, after a law enforcement agency joins the 287(g) program, ICE will train officers in immigration law, multicultural communication and avoiding racial profiling.
