Immigration

The problem

- Delegate state and local law enforcement officers the authority to perform specified immigration officer functions under ICE’s direction and oversight
- Denton County 287(g) agreement: Task Force Model serves as a force multiplier for law enforcement agencies to enforce limited immigration authority with ICE oversight during their routine police duties.
-- Task Force model provides for street-level policing with ICE authority, such as traffic stops. This is the most dangerous and invasive form of the program.
