“Nine Counties, Endless Chaos: The Real Danger Isn’t ICE — It’s the Enablers.
Out of over three thousand counties, only nine account for two-thirds of violent attacks on ICE agents. (A study done by Kevin Bass, an independent researcher/analyst. – follow him on X)
Those nine? All deep-blue sanctuary spots that limit cooperation with ICE:
- Cook County, IL (Chicago)
- Los Angeles County, CA
- Hennepin County, MN (Minneapolis)
- New York County, NY
- Multnomah County, OR (Portland)
- San Francisco County, CA
- King County, WA (Seattle)
- Essex County, NJ (Newark)
- Denver County, CO
These are the places where local leaders block jails, ignore detainers, and scream ‘Gestapo’ while protesters assault agents.
No widespread killings or assaults by ICE nationwide—just clean enforcement. But in these nine? Chaos.
Yet the rhetoric from Walz, Frey, Bass, Newsom, Omar, Schumer, Tlaib, Jayapal, Swalwell—’terrorizing families,’ ‘Nazis,’ threats to prosecute agents or yank licenses for doing their jobs.
That’s not protection; that’s incitement.
Illegal presence is a crime. Working under the table, using fake docs—more crimes. They’re not equal to citizens or legal immigrants.
Gratitude means allegiance to the law, not rebellion against it.
These enablers are the true danger. They create the mess, then blame the fix. Live grateful—or live in their chaos. No exceptions.”
A 287(g) agreement (also called a 287(g) program or Memorandum of Agreement/MOA) is a voluntary partnership authorized under Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (added by the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act).
It allows U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to delegate specific federal immigration enforcement functions to trained and certified state, local, or tribal law enforcement officers. These officers perform the duties under ICE’s direction and supervision, effectively turning them into “force multipliers” for identifying, processing, and helping remove removable noncitizens (often focusing on those with criminal records).
Key Details
- Purpose: To enhance community safety by targeting criminal aliens (e.g., gang members, violent offenders) for removal, while collaborating with local agencies.
- How it works: Participating agencies sign an MOA with ICE. Selected officers complete ICE-provided training (length varies by model; some streamlined to online/40-hour courses in recent expansions). They then perform limited immigration tasks, such as checking status, issuing detainers (requests to hold someone up to 48 hours for ICE pickup), or serving administrative warrants.
- Models (as operated by ICE):
- Jail Enforcement Model (JEM): Focuses on jails—officers screen arrestees/booking for immigration status and issue detainers.
- Warrant Service Officer (WSO) Model: Authorizes serving/ executing administrative immigration warrants, often in custody settings.
- Task Force Model (TFM): Broader—allows enforcement during routine duties (e.g., patrols, traffic stops); revived and expanded significantly in 2025 under the current administration.
- Current scale (as of late January 2026): ICE has over 1,300–1,372 agreements across 40 states, with rapid growth (e.g., from ~135 in early 2025). This includes hundreds in each model, driven by executive orders emphasizing maximum partnerships.
It’s entirely voluntary for local agencies—no mandate to join—and ICE covers training costs (with some reimbursement programs for partners). Critics argue it can lead to overreach, racial profiling, or diverted resources from local priorities; supporters see it as essential for enforcing immigration laws where cooperation is otherwise limited.
This ties directly into discussions on sanctuary vs. cooperative jurisdictions—287(g) agreements are a tool to increase cooperation in non-sanctuary areas or override local resistance.
Most illegal aliens flock to the cities. They’re illegal not dumb! That’s where the jobs are. Less than 2 percent stay or work in agricultural areas. Where else would you prefer to stay when you know you’re here illegally? Sanctuary Cities and/or States – that’s where.
