This interactive map shows where Section 287(g) agreements are active in Oklahoma. This tool is intended to help Oklahomans see where state and local law enforcement agencies are participating in this federal immigration enforcement program.
To navigate the map, click on the upper left hand corner to open the side bar. You can toggle the layers to see different types of agreements, including Municipal 287(g) Agreements and County 287(g) Agreements. By clicking on the localities highlighted, you can see which type of 287(g) model they’ve signed onto and when. If available, the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) is also linked in the description.
Other layers:
- Oklahoma Counties WITHOUT 287(g) agreements: Allows you to easily see which counties are not participating in 287(g) agreements.
- Highways: The Oklahoma Highway Patrol has deputized all of its 704 troopers under the 287(g) Task Force Model, meaning that technically 287(g) activity can happen on the roads and waterways OHP patrols.
- ICE Detention Facilities: Although not 287(g) related, this layer highlights the location of immigration detention facilities in Oklahoma.
Note: The outlines of counties and municipalities are approximate.
287(g) Agreement Models in Oklahoma
A 287(g) agreement is a formal agreement between the federal government and a state or local law-enforcement agency that allows certain trained officers to perform specific federal immigration-enforcement duties under the direction and supervision of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Officers remain employees of their state or local law-enforcement agency.
There are currently three types of 287(g) agreements: the Task Force Model, Warrant Service Officer Model, and Jail Enforcement Model. Each model gives participating officers different immigration-enforcement responsibilities and operates in different settings.
Task Force Model (TFM)
The Task Force Model gives officers the broadest range of immigration-enforcement responsibilities. It allows participating state or local officers to perform certain immigration-enforcement duties while carrying out their regular law-enforcement work in the community.
- Officers can perform immigration-enforcement duties during activities such as traffic stops, investigations, and community patrols.
- If an officer suspects an individual lacks a lawful immigration status, they can question them about their status, even if the individual has not been formally detained.
Jail Enforcement Model (JEM)
The Jail Enforcement Model allows participating local officers to perform a broader range of immigration-enforcement duties inside a jail. Officers can:
- Identify people in local custody for potential immigration enforcement.
- Complete certain immigration-related processing.
- Facilitate transfers to ICE custody when authorized.
Warrant Service Officer Model (WSOM)
The Warrant Service Officer Model is more limited and applies to people who are already in local custody.
- The officers’ immigration-enforcement duties generally take place inside a jail or other detention facility.
- Participating local officers can serve certain federal immigration warrants.
