Digital Equity

Does your county have a 287g agreement that encourages collaboration between ICE and your local sheriff? We are inviting peoplet o engage in loveing 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 contact

    • Some 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 how many calls are being made each week.

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.”

Read about one local pastor’s meeting with her local sheriff.
