US EditionICE Calling Law Enforcement in All Counties to Help with Deportation Efforts

- Congress created the 287 program in 1996, authorizing ICE to delegate limited immigration enforcement powers to trained local officers, but some disagree on local responsibility.

- Participation helps local agencies access federal grants, ICE resources, and collaboration, while critics cite cost and argue immigration enforcement is federally, not locally, mandated.
