lost — County jail in Belmont holding ICE detainees since Feb 2025 at $95/day, billed ~$115K through July 2025. Village of Allegany signed 287(g) in early 2026. Part of Buffalo Field Office overflow from overcrowded Batavia (727 in 650 beds).

contested — County Executive Blakeman signed 287(g) agreements Feb 2025. ICE detainee Santos Reyes-Banegas died Sep 18, 2025 — less than 18 hours after arrival. State court (Feb 2026) declined to halt the 287(g) agreement; NYCLU/LatinoJustice/Hofstra Law lawsuit continues. ICE missed federal 90-day death-report deadline; revised cause-of-death cited alcohol withdrawal (not liver failure as initially claimed). Family attorney Oscar Michelen alleges cover-up. Hochul introduced Local Cops, Local Crimes Act (Jan 30, 2026) seeking statewide 287(g) ban; Blakeman vows defiance. County on track to detain ~3,000 ICE detainees in 2026.

active-litigation — Nassau County Supreme Court RULED FOR THE COUNTY, finding the 287(g) agreement valid; NYCLU filed an appeal on May 26, 2026. Meanwhile the FY27 New York State budget (signed May 27, 2026) statutorily BANS 287(g) agreements statewide — which voids Nassau's agreement as a matter of state law regardless of the appeal's outcome. Appeal and statute now run in parallel; the budget ban is the more consequential development.

active-litigation — Bench trial in Barco-Mercado v. Noem held May 27, 2026 before Judge Lewis Kaplan (SDNY); Kaplan raised the possibility of barring ICE from using the 26 Federal Plaza holding cells at all rather than merely capping capacity. Internal ICE communications surfaced at trial showed staff calling conditions 'insane.' No final ruling as of May 28, 2026 — Kaplan signaled he may request additional evidence. Separately, on May 19, 2026 Judge P. Kevin Castel barred ICE from making non-criminal arrests inside the three NYC immigration courts (26 Federal Plaza, 290 Broadway, 201 Varick), reversing his own 2025 order after DOJ admitted ICE lacked authority for courthouse enforcement.

active-litigation — Class action filed April 8, 2026 in EDNY by Legal Aid Society, NYCLU, Make the Road NY, and Covington & Burling on behalf of eight Latino New Yorkers and the Workers' Center of Central New York. ICE arrested 2,888 people in the greater NYC area in the first six months of Trump's second term — triple the prior rate — while agents conducted stops based on perceived race and ethnicity with no individualized suspicion.

contested — ENACTED. The core 287(g) ban passed as part of the FY27 New York State budget signed by Gov. Hochul on May 27, 2026 (legislature passed final measures May 28). The budget prohibits new 287(g) contracts AND informal agreements that are functionally equivalent, designates sensitive locations (hospitals, schools, churches, parks, polling places) ICE cannot enter without a judicial warrant, bans ICE agents from wearing masks, and creates a private right to sue ICE/federal agents for constitutional violations retroactive to January 2025. Advocates note it fell short of the broader NY4All Act because it still permits some informal cooperation. Upstate Republican sheriffs and Nassau Executive Blakeman opposed and have threatened legal challenges.

contested — Sheriff Filicetti signed 287(g) May 2025 (both warrant service + task force models), earning $148/person/day. By January 2026, pulled back — updated policy to require criminal charges or judicial warrants before holding detainees for ICE.

lost — After ICE arrested beloved restaurant owner Jian Hao Zhang on June 25, 2025, Camden Police Chief Sean Redden signed 287(g) task force agreement with ICE 7 days later. Village police now have street-level immigration enforcement powers.

won — ICE backed away from Chester site ~Feb 20, 2026, after 400+ at public meeting, 10,000+ petition signatures, 50+ elected officials' bipartisan letter. But 'at this time' language + unaddressed New Windsor/Woodbury sites mean Orange County still at risk.

contested — Sheriff Allard has both warrant service and task force 287(g) agreements plus new 3-year U.S. Marshals contract (Feb 2026). Claims jail won't house civil immigration detainees but ICE rider allows revenue from criminal immigration cases. Residents packed chambers demanding rescission.

preemptive-defense — County Executive EO prohibits employees from sharing immigration status; Sheriff Figueroa backed Local Cops, Local Crimes Act. But adjacent Orange County ICE expansion (Chester warehouse, New Windsor office) makes Ulster a frontline community.
