The Department of Homeland Security will reimburse local agencies for the annual salary and benefits of eligible trained 287(g) officers, including up to 25% overtime coverage, beginning October 1, 2025. Quarterly performance awards will pay task force officers between $500 and $1,000 based on successful location metrics tied to ICE referrals. The 287(g) program authorizes state and local officers to perform immigration enforcement functions. ICE had signed 287(g) agreements with more than 480 agencies as of September 2. DHS is also offering financial incentives to recruit ICE officers, including potential signing bonuses.
"Starting October 1, 2025, participating law enforcement will have these reimbursement opportunities," DHS said in a press release posted today. "ICE will fully reimburse participating agencies for the annual salary and benefits of each eligible trained 287(g) officer, including overtime coverage up to 25% of the officer's annual salary." The announcement continued: "Law enforcement agencies will be eligible for quarterly monetary performance awards based on the successful location of illegal aliens provided by ICE and overall assistance to further ICE's mission to Defend the Homeland:"
DHS announced on September 2 that it will financially reward local law enforcement agencies that carry out its anti-immigrant agenda, effectively creating an incentive system in which the more people wanted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that an agency abducts, the more money it stands to make.
