Local Police Agreements With ICE Have Exploded in New York State—and Nationwide
Over the last eight months in New York State alone, local law enforcement agencies have signed nine partnership agreements with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the federal 287(g) program, encompassing six counties.
The number of such agreements has exploded nationwide this year, with a total of 958 covering 40 states, according to ICE. Tied for 15th place, New York has the same number of agreements as states such as Indiana and Wyoming.
