Every Texas sheriff in the federal 287(g) program has been told they cannot release data about the program on their own. The 287(g) program deputizes sheriff’s deputies to enforce federal immigration law. An April 21 email from ICE’s 287(g) main office reached every participating agency in the country and reasserted federal control over how 287(g) numbers, calculations, and statistics can be disclosed.
