Overview
- Starting Oct. 1, participating departments will receive full salary and benefits for trained 287(g) officers with overtime reimbursed up to 25%.
- DHS says it has roughly 896 signed 287(g) agreements, while separate reporting places the total near 960 across 40 states.
- ICE reports more than 8,500 trained task officers with another 2,000 in training, supported by over $500 million from the administration’s funding package.
- Agencies may qualify for quarterly performance awards of $500 to $1,000 per officer based on effectiveness metrics.
- The expansion continues to face civil-rights objections citing past DOJ findings, as implementation examples in Florida include about 3,600 people transferred from traffic stops to federal custody since March.
