HR 6890 would shut down the federal 287(g) program, which lets local and state police sign agreements with ICE to question, arrest, and detain people for immigration violations. Federal law would be updated to make immigration enforcement the exclusive responsibility of federal officers. Narrow exceptions for situations such as terrorism or immigrant smuggling, already established in other laws, would remain.
Local and state law enforcement agencies that currently hold 287(g) agreements with ICE would lose the ability to participate in immigration enforcement under those agreements. Undocumented immigrants living in areas where those agreements are active would also be directly affected.
Ending 287(g) would represent a significant shift in how immigration enforcement operates at the local level across the country. Both supporters and critics of local-federal immigration cooperation would feel the impact of this change.
