Partnership with ICE a hot ticket for local law enforcement

WASHINGTON—Local law enforcement agencies across the country are clamoring for the chance to join the federal government in fighting illegal immigration as applications to partner with the immigration service have spiked and new technology brings more interest.

Thirty-four new police and sheriff departments signed on to participate in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement 287 (g) program, a federal-local partnership that 67 other law enforcement departments have forged since 2003.

Prince William County in Virginia reported that since officially signing on to the 287(g) program in February, its police and sheriff departments detained more than 1,000 illegal immigrants who had been arrested and charged with crimes.
