In December of last year, ICE had 135 agreements with law enforcement agencies across 21 states. By May 19, ICE had signed 588 agreements with local and state agencies across 40 states, with an additional 83 agencies pending approval.Roughly half of the pacts are in Florida, where Republican Gov.

recently announced the arrest ofin an orchestrated sweep between local and federal officials.Texas, where Republican Gov.

has also allied himself with Trump on immigration, comes in second. Other states topping the list are Georgia and North Carolina.A majority of the agreements are with sheriff’s departments, a reflection of the fact that they are largely responsible for running jails in America.

But other agencies have also signed the agreements including the Florida and Texas National Guard, the Florida Department of Lottery Services and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

The expansion of agreements “has been unprecedented in terms of the speed and the breath,” said Amien Kacou, attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union in Florida.A man pushes his cart with discarded plastic items and cartons at Kadikoy district in Istanbul, Turkey, Sunday, Feb. 9, 2025.
