Millions in federal and state immigration dollars are flowing to Texas law enforcement through the 287(g) program, funding vehicles, equipment, payroll and more. @ArezowDoost

Los acuerdos de ICE con las fuerzas del orden locales están aumentando en Texas. Mientras que el estado designa más dinero, oficiales y poder detrás del 287(g), KXAN exige respuestas sobre cómo funciona. kxan.com/shadow-force/espano…

Texas se ha convertido en el epicentro de la expansión del programa 287(g) de ICE. Cientos de agencias se han sumado, más agentes han recibido autoridad federal para hacer cumplir las leyes migratorias y nuevos fondos impulsan el crecimiento del programa. En una investigación conjunta con @propublica y @TexasTribune, @KXAN_News encontró que esta expansión ha avanzado con poca transparencia. Algunas agencias han retenido documentos, han remitido solicitudes de información a ICE o se han opuesto a divulgar registros. KXAN identificó a cientos de agentes autorizados en Texas, entre ellos más de una docena con antecedentes de cargos penales o de sanciones disciplinarias estatales. Estos hallazgos plantean preguntas sobre cómo se evalúa a los agentes antes de su autorización. Mientras Texas destina más dinero y asigna más agentes y autoridad al programa 287(g), KXAN continúa buscando respuestas sobre una iniciativa que permanece, en gran medida, en las sombras.

ICE agreements with local law enforcement are growing in Texas. As the state puts more money, officers and power behind 287(g), KXAN is pushing for answers about how it operates.

KXAN identified at least 530 officers in Texas authorized to use federal immigration powers—and there could be more.
Partnering with @propublica and @TexasTribune, our team investigates the state's growing ICE partnership program and how local officers are carrying out its mission. kxan.com/investigations/more…
Texas leads ICE’s expanding 287(g) program, with hundreds of local police agencies signing on, more officers gaining federal immigration powers and new funding fueling growth. As part of an initiative with @propublica and @TexasTribune examining state and federal efforts to restrict local control, @KXAN_News uncovered questions about officer vetting and barriers to public records, pushing for answers about a rapidly expanding program that remains largely in the shadows.
