Where can I find ICE’s live 287(g) roster with an itemized list of participating sheriffs and agencies?
Executive summary
The official, live roster of agencies participating in ICE’s 287(g) program is hosted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on its 287(g) program pages and accompanying downloadable materials — notably the interactive participant map and the participant PDF — which list participating sheriffs, police departments and tribal partners [1] [2]. For independent verification and searchable itemized tables, investigative outlets and nonprofit trackers such as The Markup and several advocacy groups maintain their own compiled lists and analyses, but those sources reflect interpretations and timestamps that can differ from ICE’s live counts [3] [4].
1. Where the live, authoritative roster lives: ICE’s 287(g) web pages
ICE’s official 287(g) landing page and the program-specific “Delegation of Immigration Authority” page are the primary places to find the agency’s live roster and downloadable participant map and documents; these pages advertise a viewable list of participating agencies and provide program resources and contact information for ERO 287(g) inquiries [1] [5]. The agency also publishes a participant map/PDF that lays out which counties, sheriff’s offices, municipal police departments, and tribal entities have active agreements and which of the three models (Jail Enforcement Model, Warrant Service Officer, Task Force Model) they operate under [2].
2. How to get an itemized list of sheriffs and local agencies
To obtain an itemized roster of participating sheriffs and agencies, use the downloadable participant map/PDF hosted on ICE’s site or the interactive web map linked from ice.gov/287g; those files enumerate agreements and often indicate model type and location, which serves as an itemized list of participating law enforcement agencies [2] [1]. For questions about specific entries or the most current status, ICE provides a program contact email (ERO287g@ice.dhs.gov) and notes the total number of MOAs as of particular timestamps on their delegation page, indicating that direct agency contact is the recommended path for confirmation [5].
3. Why independent trackers may be useful — and why they differ
Investigative projects and advocacy groups such as The Markup, The Antagonist, the American Immigration Council and others compile searchable databases and analyses that can make it easier to filter by state, county, or model type, and they often add context about operations and local pushback; The Markup presents a law-enforcement–ICE cooperation tracker and a list of local agencies enforcing for ICE [3] [4]. These independent datasets can diverge from ICE counts because they snapshot a moment in time, apply different inclusion rules, or flag disputed agreements — and advocacy groups explicitly warn the rapid expansion of agreements has outpaced oversight and transparency [6] [7].
4. Numbers, timetables and transparency caveats
ICE and DHS have published shifting totals as the program expanded: ICE reported 1,372 memoranda of agreement covering 40 states as of a January 30, 2026 timestamp on the delegation page, and DHS announced the program had surpassed 1,000 partnerships in September 2025, reflecting rapid growth and administrative incentives such as new reimbursement rules [5] [8]. Civil-rights groups and watchdogs caution that reported instrument counts and model breakdowns vary by source and that oversight, training quality and civil‑rights impacts remain contested — a reason to cross-check ICE’s live roster against third‑party trackers and local agency statements [9] [7] [10].
5. Practical steps to get the roster and verify specific sheriffs
Start at ice.gov/287g to use the interactive map and download the participant PDF; if a machine-readable table is needed, consult independent trackers like The Markup’s ICE cooperation tracker or regional reporting that repackages ICE’s map into searchable spreadsheets [1] [3]. For absolute confirmation of an individual sheriff or department’s current status, contact the ICE 287(g) program email listed on the delegation page or the local agency directly, because ICE updates and media compilations capture different moments and may omit recent MOA changes or reversals [5] [1].
