flag Marathon County’s 287(g) deal lets deputies check immigration status only after arrests, not during traffic stops.

flag Marathon County Sheriff Chad Bileb clarified that the county’s 287(g) agreement with ICE does not allow deputies to request immigration documentation during traffic stops or routine police interactions. flag The program, operating under the Jail Enforcement Model, only permits immigration enforcement after an individual is arrested and booked into jail, involving specially trained correctional staff. flag Patrol officers are not authorized to conduct immigration checks in the field. flag Bileb stated that media reports suggesting otherwise are false and misleading, undermining public trust. flag The agreement is limited to jail-based processing, distinct from other 287(g) models used in Wisconsin.
