News coverage of ICE's 287(g) program in Tennessee

Updated October 6, 2026

Tennessee has rapidly expanded its 287(g) cooperation with ICE, reaching 120 participating agencies by September and recording more than 1,300 arrests by those partners since January 2025. A state law requires county sheriff’s offices to enter agreements by January 1, 2027, while the arrangements have broadened from jail-based work to warrant-service and task-force authority amid litigation and community opposition.
