La expansión de ICE en Tennessee: 115 acuerdos 287(g) y un nuevo centro en el horizonte
NASHVILLE, Tennessee (Telemundo Nashville) - Tennessee se está convirtiendo en uno de los principales bastiones del programa federal 287(g), con 115 acuerdos activos entre agencias locales y ICE, según documentos federales.
A nivel nacional, ICE reporta 2,365 acuerdos 287(g) activos. El número en Tennessee ha cobrado nueva relevancia mientras crece la atención sobre la posible llegada a Nashville de un centro nacional de llamadas de ICE.
Documentos federales muestran que el gobierno otorgó un contrato de hasta 63 millones de dólares a Koniag Government Services para desarrollar el proyecto. El centro tendría como objetivo brindar apoyo tecnológico a agencias policiales de todo el país que participan en el programa 287(g), que permite a determinados agentes estatales y locales ejercer funciones limitadas de aplicación de las leyes migratorias bajo supervisión de ICE.
Un programa que se ha expandido en Tennessee
Los 115 acuerdos activos en Tennessee se dividen en tres modelos principales.
El modelo de cumplimiento penitenciario (Jail Enforcement Model) permite a oficiales designados identificar y procesar a personas que podrían ser deportables y que tienen cargos criminales pendientes o activos.
El modelo de grupo de trabajo (Task Force Model) permite a oficiales designados ejercer ciertas facultades migratorias mientras realizan sus labores policiales habituales o participan en operativos dirigidos por ICE.
Y el programa de oficiales de servicio para entrega de órdenes (Warrant Service Officer Model) permite a oficiales designados ejecutar órdenes administrativas de inmigración contra personas bajo su custodia.
De acuerdo con los registros federales, Tennessee cuenta actualmente con:
- 10 acuerdos bajo el modelo de cumplimiento penitenciario (Jail Enforcement Model)
- 39 acuerdos bajo el modelo de grupo de trabajo (Task Force Model)
- 66 acuerdos bajo el modelo de oficiales de servicio para entrega de órdenes (Warrant Service Officer Model)
¿Qué ha cambiado con el programa?
Durante años, los acuerdos 287(g) generalmente no incluían una compensación financiera directa para las agencias locales más allá de capacitación y herramientas tecnológicas proporcionadas por el gobierno federal.
Pero bajo las reglas actuales, ICE contempla reembolsos sujetos a la disponibilidad de fondos y a las actividades de cumplimiento establecidas en cada acuerdo.
El programa se ha convertido así no solo en una herramienta de colaboración entre ICE y las autoridades locales, sino también en una pieza importante de la estrategia federal de aplicación de las leyes migratorias.
