Media Advisory | Off-The-Record: Media & Press Briefing on 287(g) Agreements
August 19, 2025 11:30 am
A 287(g) agreement gives local police the power to enforce federal immigration law—something they normally can't do. These agreements turn local law enforcement officers into ICE agents—fueling deportations, racial profiling, and fear in immigrant communities.
WHAT
The ACLU of Utah invites reporters, editors, producers, and other media professionals to an exclusive, off-the-record briefing on 287(g) agreements. This is a unique opportunity to ask questions, gain clarity, and deepen your understanding of how these agreements operate and their impact on people in Utah.
Our legal and policy experts will walk you through the key issues, answer your questions, and provide context to support accurate, informed coverage. While no quotes or direct attribution from this session may be used, the information shared will equip you with valuable background knowledge for future reporting.
