Short Statement: The 287(g) Program has undergone programmatic changes since this collection was first published. Currently, there are 39 memorandums of agreement which is a reduction from the high of 71 in fiscal year (FY) 2010. In addition, no new programs have been approved for participation since FY 2010. This has led to fewer designated immigration officers being trained and also accounts for the reduction in the number of forms submitted.
