A Call to Action - 287g
Encourage Your Local Sheriff to Not Collaborate with ICE
Does your county have a 287g agreement that encourages collaboration between ICE and your local sheriff? We are inviting people to love their neighbors by speaking out against the 287g program.
First - Learn about the 287g program.
Second - Click here to see where your county stands.
Third - Contact your local sheriff's office and tell them what you think about the 287g program.
If your county has a 287g program, encourage them to end it.
If your county does not have a 287g program, encourage your county to maintain its position.
Visit your county sheriff’s website. Search: “Your County Sheriff’s Office” (e.g., “Alameda County Sheriff’s Office”).
Look for:
Office phone number
Email address
Public Information Officer (PIO) or Community Liaison contactSome sheriffs have online contact forms or meeting request portals.
Here is a sample email you can send. Adjust it to fit your context.
Fourth, Tell us about it so we can track the number of calls made each week. (See below for the reporting form and updates on the number of contacts made.)
Fifth - Repeat the process each week.
Note: Even if a 287g agreement is not present, there still may be collaboration. The ACLU-WI reports, “From 2021 to 2024, 29 Wisconsin counties and the Wisconsin Department of Corrections received substantial SCAAP funding (State Criminal Alien Assistance Program - a federal grant program partially reimburses state and local governments for the costs of incarcerating certain non-citizens), totaling $7,258,617 from October 2020 through September 2024.”
