Overview

• Beginning Oct. 1, participating agencies will be fully reimbursed for trained 287(g) officers’ salaries and benefits, with up to 25% of pay covered for overtime.
• Agencies can receive quarterly performance awards of $500 to $1,000 per eligible officer based on ICE-defined metrics.
• DHS reports the number of 287(g) agreements has jumped from 135 to roughly 958, with personnel operating across about 40 states.
• Congress approved major enforcement funding, including $75 billion for ICE over a little more than four years, and DHS also cites dedicated money to expand 287(g).
• Advocacy groups warn the Task Force model fosters racial profiling and erodes trust with immigrants, pointing to past Justice Department findings of constitutional violations.
