West Virginia: 287(g) agreements with ICE and where to request records
Each entry below appears on a list ICE publishes. Entries this site has checked link to that public body's own records request page or the route it posts; where neither was found, the entry says so and links the page that was checked. A privately run or federal facility links a federal agency's FOIA page and, where one is named, the county that contracts for it. The others say “Request page not yet checked” and link to a guide to West Virginia's records law. Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act authorizes these agreements. Being listed says nothing about how an agreement is carried out. ICE's lists are the source for every entry; they can lag, contain errors, and drop agreements without notice, so confirm with the agency before relying on an entry.
Police, sheriffs and other agencies with 287(g) agreements
ICE's list of 287(g) participating agencies (ICE's spreadsheet file name dated October 9, 2026; page updated October 13, 2026). ICE uses three models. In ICE's words, Warrant Service Officer “allows designated immigration officers to serve and execute administrative warrants on aliens in their custody”; Task Force is described as “allowing designated immigration officers to enforce limited immigration authority while performing routine police duties or as an active participant in an ICE-led task force”; Jail Enforcement “allows designated immigration officers to identify and process removable aliens who have pending or active criminal charges.” None in West Virginia: Jail Enforcement. Ask for the agency's own records (agreements, approvals, invoices, policies). Records ICE holds are requested from ICE (ICE FOIA page).
