Tell Congress to vote yes on this bill and end the 287(g) program once and for all.

End ICE's Dangerous 287(g) Program
ICE's 287(g) program turns local police into a weapon for ICE, meaning more racial profiling, more fear in our communities, and more people in immigrant detention. Tell Congress to end it now.

287(g) agreements essentially turn local law enforcement into ICE agents. In March 2025, the Freeborn County sheriff unilaterally entered into one of these illegal agreements.

287(g) agreements harm more than just noncitizens. They harm entire communities by redirecting money, time, and resources away from local priorities.
Local 'Participating Agencies' Expand ICE Links in Minnesota as Counties Profit from Immigrant Detentions - UNICORN RIOT
The 287(g) program links local law enforcement agencies into ICE. The program has grown incrementally in Minnesota this year; meanwhile counties are collecting millions of dollars by detaining immigrants for ICE.
