Allegations that 287(g) agreements with local law enforcement encourage “racial profiling” are disgusting and categorically FALSE. Our 287(g) partners work with us to enforce federal immigration law without fear, favor, or prejudice, and they should be commended for doing so. 287(g) is critical to having the enforcement we need to arrest criminal illegal aliens across the country. DHS has secured 719 signed agreements with state and local partnerships under this program, and we will continue to build on that number despite baseless lawsuits like this.
