Opposing 287(g) Agreements Between ICE and North Carolina Law Enforcement

From the Toolkit: 

“A 287(g) agreement gives local law enforcement the power to enforce federal immigration law, something they normally cannot do. These agreements turn local officers into Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, fueling deportations, racial profiling, and fear in immigrant communities. As the Trump administration continues to supersize deportations and immigrant detention, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has tapped state and local law enforcement to act as its force multiplier to a degree never seen before. While this program has long existed, it is taking new shape. The number of 287(g) partnerships has skyrocketed to over 1,200 across 40 states and continues to increase. We are even seeing the partnerships go beyond law enforcement agencies, including state National Guard and college campuses.”
