End of 287 (g) NationalA one-pager explaining what 287 (g) agreements are basic facts about voluntary contracts and the steps taken to end the program throughout the country. Citizens need to be informed about the risks of ending these agreements and the danger they pose to their families. Silence and apathy ensure that the 287g agreement in your community will soon be gone and much of your community`s safety adjoins it. Program 287(g) continues to receive tremendous feedback from its partners. Mutually beneficial agreements allow state and local government officials to act as multipliers in the identification, arrest and distribution of arrest warrants and prisoners of foreign-born persons, with criminal prosecution or convictions. Those who are likely to be deported are identified while still safe in public or local detention, which could reduce the time spent by the alien in ICE detention. The State and local partners benefit from reducing the number of offenders returned to the Community without being investigated for immigration offences. Gang members, sex offenders and murderers are often identified and detained in ICE after serving their sentences and are thus removed from the community. The effectiveness and security of the program allows ICE to actively engage foreign criminal offenders, while they are held in a safe and controlled environment, unlike the alternative of making arrests overall, which pose security concerns to officials and the community and can result in collateral arrests. Federal, state and local officials working together offer a huge benefit to public safety through better law enforcement communication and the overall effectiveness of the municipal police. In more reasonable periods, such a program would be announced to ensure the safety of communities for all citizens.

In today`s inverted world, which looks through the glass, the anti-border crowd is bubbling with anger and is determined to denounce the 287(g) accords across the country. Ending 287 (g): A Toolkit for Local OrganizersA toolkit for local organizers who are fighting against 287 agreements (g) in their communities, whether these agreements already exist, are pending or pose a potential threat. The following map shows a total of 148 jurisdictions across the country that currently have 287(g) agreements under the Jail Enforcement and Warrant Service Officer models. It also shows some of the jurisdictions that have ended these programs. The red jurisdictions represent the 126 jurisdictions that signed 287(g) agreements during the Trump administration; Yellow represents the 22 jurisdictions that signed 287(g) agreements before the Trump administration; blue represents the 72 jurisdictions that have signed agreements of 287 (g) under the Warrant Service Officer program; and green represents 28 jurisdictions that have terminated agreements of 287 (g). As of October 2020, ECI 287(g) has concluded JEM agreements with 77 law enforcement authorities in 21 states. ICE has also entered into 287 (g) WSO agreements with 75 law enforcement agencies in 11 states. For most Americans, 287(g) sounds like a loophole discovered by their accountant to help them avoid taxes. It effectively refers to a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act, our Federal Immigration Act: 287(g) expressly authorizes “the Director of ICE to enter into agreements with national and local law enforcement authorities allowing designated officials to perform limited immigration law enforcement functions.” Given that our nation is still suffering from looting, unrest, and unrest, it seems like it`s a strange time to discuss adopting a policy that would make American communities far more dangerous.
