287(g) Expansion Act

This bill would let states and local governments that have a written 287(g) agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement apply to the Attorney General for more money from the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program. A 287(g) agreement allows local officers to carry out certain federal immigration enforcement duties. After confirming the agreement, the Attorney General, working with the Secretary of Homeland Security, would raise the applicant's yearly grant by up to 10 percent of its average yearly grant over its 3 most recent funded years. The bill authorizes $20 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2033 to pay for these increases.
