"The implementation of 287(g) agreements on US college campuses marks a turning point in the relationship between educational institutions and immigration agencies. This expansion of immigration enforcement into higher education...opens a new chapter in the debate about universities' responsibility to protect their students. The term "287(g)" refers specifically to section 287(g) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. The law created a mechanism to facilitate collaboration between federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and local police."
"Implementation of section 287(g) requires a memorandum of understanding between ICE and the interested agency, which must agree to training, federal oversight, and specific protocols. A 287(g) agreement deputizes local agents to verify the immigration status of detained individuals, issue administrative detentions, and assist in deportation proceedings. Immigrant rights organizations and sectors of the university community are coordinating collective protection strategies."
Section 287(g) authorizes collaboration between federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and state or local law enforcement through memoranda of understanding that require training, federal oversight, and protocols. Agreements enable local agents to verify immigration status of detained individuals, issue administrative detentions, and assist in deportation proceedings. Participation has grown from 32 agencies in 2016 to over 1,000 agencies today, and some campus police departments now participate. Different implementation models include the Jail Enforcement Model and the Task Force Model. The campus expansion raises civil rights and student-protection concerns and has prompted immigrant rights organizations and university sectors to coordinate collective protection strategies.
