Twelve states have voluntary agreements for certain immigration enforcement activities.

Since 2002, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has created voluntary cooperative agreements between the federal government and state and local law enforcement agencies on immigration enforcement, as authorized by Section 287(g) in the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act.  The agreements delineate the DHS supervisory role and individual law enforcement agencies’ jurisdictions and limitations.
