Virginia Sheriff’s Stance on Illegal Immigration Colors Landscape on Searches of Latino Motorists
- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has signed a record 635 287 agreements with law enforcement agencies across 40 states as of May 29, 2025.

- The expanding 287 network, with 68 pending applications mostly from Florida agencies, suggests ongoing federal-local collaboration on immigration enforcement and invites public engagement through informational materials and legislative contact.
