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

Updated September 21, 2026

Virginia’s 2026 effort to end or constrain state and local police cooperation with ICE has been checked in court, leaving existing 287(g) agreements in place while the legal challenge proceeds. The ruling preserves local participation in federal immigration enforcement and leaves a divided statewide landscape in which agencies’ cooperation practices and limits remain under public and legal scrutiny.
