ICE Hits 1,001 287(g) Deals—Local Cops Deputized For Deportations Nationwide

ICE has surpassed 1,000 active 287(g) agreements, sharply expanding the number of local and state officers empowered to carry out immigration enforcement. Mother Jones reports the One Big Beautiful Bill Act pumped nearly $75B into ICE—about $30B for enforcement and $45B for detention—fueling a rapid surge, including more than 500 revived task-force agreements across 33 states. Advocates warn the model, previously ended amid profiling findings, risks civil-rights abuses; Florida is leading the expansion under a new law requiring local participation.
