Agreements Between Pennsylvania Authorities and ICE Nearly Doubled in Six Months

146 Pennsylvania agencies now have 287(g) agreements with ICE, nearly double the number six months ago; DHS says the state had none under the Biden administration. Recent sign-ups include the district attorneys’ offices in Bedford, Armstrong and McKean counties and police in Butler Township, Pottsville and Lehigh Township. Nationally, agreements rose from 135 to 2,698 as of October 20, according to Deportation Data Project FOIA records analyzed by the Inquirer.
