What Immigration Enforcement Looks Like When Police Are Deputized to Do ICE Work

NPR documented how the 287(g) program works on the ground in Walton County, Florida, where the sheriff's office has embraced federal immigration enforcement and the state rewarded it with roughly $9 million in incentives. Deputized officers pull drivers over for traffic violations, run their identification against federal databases, and contact ICE when a driver has no ID. ICE separately reimburses the county $72 per detainee per day.
