Participation in the 287(g) program, which deputizes state and local law enforcement officers to conduct immigration duties, has skyrocketed since January.

While ICE has fewer than 20k officers, state and local agencies have hundreds of thousands.

There may be some steps individuals can take to mitigate risk (e.g., in a mixed status household, switching cars, since license plate data seems to be a favorite for ICE).

Zooming out, our best opportunity to throw sand in the gears of this machine is to slow the spread of 287(g) agreements.
