In the United States, state lawmakers have passed legislation banning 287(g) agreements, which allow local police departments to cooperate with federal immigration authorities such as ICE. This policy change affects law enforcement agencies and immigrant communities, with supporters arguing it will bring transparency to police departments, while opponents fear it could lead to increased ICE presence and enforcement actions, as highlighted by concerns about "flooding the streets of New York with ICE agents."

The debate centers on the balance between local autonomy in policing and federal immigration enforcement. The legislation's implementation and impact on police-federal cooperation remain to be seen.
