News coverage of ICE's 287(g) program in North Dakota
Updated October 6, 2026
North Dakota reporting documents ICE cooperation with local law enforcement through Burleigh County sheriff assistance during Bismarck-area operations and county-jail detention of people held for immigration authorities. The documented activity shows a longstanding local-federal detention relationship being used amid increased enforcement, while available reporting does not establish a statewide expansion of 287(g) agreements.
