Write the Governors of California, Conneticutt, Delaware, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Oregon, Washington State, Illinois, Vermont, Hawaii and ask them to do the ‘287G Co-Op with ICE

Florida plus 39 other states do this co-op with ICE.

Additionally, Florida passed a law that says you do not have to stop if squatters are blocking the road. Florida’s Govenor Ron DeSantis said, “you block the freeway, you become Road Kill.”

California, Oregon, Washington State, New Jersey, Connecticut and Illinois have state laws or policies that prohibit cooperation with ICE. Hawaii, Rhode Island, Delaware and Vermont have no active or pending agreements,

He may have faults, but he has been a great governor. Just wish the legislature had passes open carry. They are claiming we have Constitutional Carry since you no longer have to have a concealed carry permit to conceal. But open Carry is still not allowed.

The query “Delegation of Immigration Authority Section 287(g) Immigration and Nationality Act” is referring to the ICE 287(g) program, which is a partnership between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and state and local law enforcement agencies.

The Delegation of Immigration Authority Section 287(g) Immigration and Nationality Act reads in part:

ICE’s 287(g) Program

The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 added Section 287(g) to the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) — authorizing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to delegate to state and local law enforcement officers the authority to perform specified immigration officer functions under the agency’s direction and oversight.

The 287(g) Program enhances the safety and security of our nation’s communities by allowing ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) to partner with state and local law enforcement agencies to identify and remove criminal aliens who are amenable to removal from the U.S.

ICE recognizes the importance of its relationships with its law enforcement partners to carry out its critical mission.

The 287(g) program allows ICE — through the delegation of specified immigration officer duties — to enhance collaboration with state and local law enforcement partners to protect the homeland through the arrest and removal of aliens who undermine the safety of our nation’s communities and the integrity of U.S. immigration laws.

Key aspects of the 287(g) program:

• Delegated Authority: It allows state and local law enforcement agencies to enter into agreements with ICE, delegating certain immigration enforcement authorities to designated state and local officers.
• Enforcement Actions: Participating agencies can enforce certain aspects of U.S. immigration law, such as identifying and processing noncitizens with criminal charges, enforcing immigration authorities during routine duties, and serving and executing administrative warrants.
• Training and Oversight: Officers participating in the program receive training from ICE and operate under the supervision of ICE officers when exercising immigration authorities.

Two primary models:

• Jail Enforcement Model (JEM): Deputized officers can question individuals who have been arrested on state or local charges to determine their immigration status.
• Task Force Model: Allows designated officers, like highway patrol officers, to inquire about immigration status during routine stops.

Goals:

The program aims to enhance public safety by focusing on the arrest and detention of individuals who are removable from the United States and who have criminal charges.

Historical Context: The program was established in 1996 as part of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act.

Current Status: As of December 2024, ICE has 287(g) agreements with 135 state or local law enforcement agencies across 21 states.

Important Notes:

• Participation in the 287(g) program is voluntary for state and local law enforcement agencies.
• ICE provides the necessary training at no cost to the participating agencies.
• The American Immigration Council provides an overview of the 287(g) program on their website.

Information about partnering with ICE through the 287(g) program can be found on the ICE website.
