flag Pinal County, Arizona, has become the first in the state to join the federal 287(g) immigration enforcement program, allowing county prosecutors and investigators to identify and arrest undocumented immigrants convicted of violent crimes, child crimes, or drug trafficking. flag The initiative, backed by federal funding and training, enables access to federal databases and supports joint operations with ICE. flag County Attorney Brad Miller said the move strengthens community safety and expands law enforcement capabilities. flag The program, now active in 10 Arizona agencies, has drawn criticism from civil rights groups concerned about eroding public trust. flag Meanwhile, new federal rules limit work permits for some immigrants to 18 months, and the Dream Act has been reintroduced in Congress.
