287 g program

The 287(g) program is a federal immigration enforcement model that allows state and local law enforcement agencies to partner with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to identify and arrest individuals suspected of being in the country without authorization. Recent discussions on WindowsForum highlight a surge in interior enforcement activity in Florida, where over 6,000 arrests were made in five months and nearly $30 million in federal reimbursements were tied to 287(g) operations. The program's revival is reshaping immigration policing at the state level, with implications for law enforcement funding and community impact. This tag covers news and analysis related to the 287(g) program's implementation and outcomes.
