Section 287(g) agreements are signed between local Sheriff's offices and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under which local police officers are emboldened to act as ICE agents, allowing them to investigate immigration status, detain individuals, and begin deportation processes.
Statewide, 17 counties and one municipality, have 287(g) agreements with ICE. This webinar, featuring ACLU WI’s Senior Staff Attorney Tim Muth, will give an overview of what 278g agreements are (how they work, who signs them) and the implications these agreements have toward communities.
