FYI: I've been working on the readme for the 287(g) program report repo to make it easier to navigate.
Hoping to make this Github version of the project more useful for users who want to share a packaged version of the report, or need the data for technical or formal citation purposes.

Officer Jaron Alexander sees his relationships with residents as evidence of his humanity, despite what people say about him.
“I’ve deported like six of their family members,” he said about one family, “and they’re still friendly to me.”

Unless we get a late afternoon update from ICE today, we'll end October with 127 new 287(g) agreements signed.
That's significantly less than we saw during the recent spike from June to September, when signups hovered between 191 and 206 per month. May was the last month w/ fewer (126).

Texas SB 8 requires that all county sheriffs with a jail must apply to join the 287(g) program by December 1.
So as I headed to Ingram for the first time in March, I wanted to know who the local faces of the national immigration crackdown were.

We knew that in September 2025, ICE announced new incentives for the 287(g) police partnership program, including a $100K vehicle stipend, quarterly performance bonuses + overtime pay for officers.
Ingram opted in. That meant its cops would serve as deputy immigration agents.
