As of October 2018, 78 law enforcement agencies in 20 states had 287(g) agreements with ICE. All local and state law enforcement agencies that wish to take part in the 287(g) program must enter into a Memorandum of Agreement with ICE. Participating officers must complete a four-week training program run by instructors from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center ICE Academy.
The investigation noted that Police Executive Research Forum interviews with Maricopa officers revealed that "a number of law enforcement officers in Maricopa County believe that MCSO has enforced immigration laws in a way that has poisoned the relationship between law enforcement and Latinos, hindering general law enforcement efforts within the Latino community."
