On the morning of September 4th, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Eastern Time, a roundtable meeting was held by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Markwayne Mullin, focusing on the 287g cooperation project between the Ohio Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and local law enforcement agencies. The event was broadcasted live on NTD and Epoch Times with Chinese subtitles.
Secretary Markwayne Mullin of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, along with officials from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and representatives from local law enforcement agencies, convened for a roundtable meeting to discuss the importance of the “287g” partnership, highlighting how state and local law enforcement assisted ICE in achieving record-high arrests in August 2026. Following the roundtable meeting, Secretary Mullin fielded questions from the media.
The 287g program is a federal initiative managed by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which delegates limited federal immigration enforcement authority to state and local law enforcement officers. Named after section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, these cooperative relationships operate through Memoranda of Agreement (MOAs) voluntarily signed by all parties involved.
