Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has announced that all 1,100 sworn officers of the state's Department of Public Safety (DPS) will participate in the federal 287(g) program, granting them the authority to inquire about and arrest individuals suspected of being in the country without authorization.
The move expands the state's collaboration with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and aligns with the Trump administration's efforts to increase immigration enforcement at the state and local levels.
