287(g) Task Force Model
Immigration Policy Update
The Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) has published a deep dive into the 287(g) Task Force Model — a program that allows local law enforcement to act as federal immigration agents. This resource explains how the model works, the risks it poses to immigrant communities, and what advocates can do to push back.
Key topics covered:
- How the 287(g) program allows local police to enforce federal immigration law
- Differences between the Task Force Model and other 287(g) agreements
- The impact on community trust and public safety
- Racial profiling concerns and civil rights violations
- How local communities and advocates can challenge these agreements
- Policy recommendations for limiting or ending 287(g) programs
Understanding the 287(g) program is critical for immigrant communities and their allies. This guide from the ILRC provides essential information for advocacy and community education.
