Mobile Identify

The 287 TFM app is designed to support local law enforcement officers in their duties under a specific federal partnership. This app facilitates functions authorized by Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). This provision of federal law allows the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to delegate specific immigration enforcement authorities to state and local law enforcement agencies. Through a formal agreement, or Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), with DHS, participating agencies like your Sheriff's Department can have designated officers who are trained, certified, and authorized to perform certain immigration enforcement functions, helping to identify and process individuals who may be in the country unlawfully. This tool is built to streamline those responsibilities securely and efficiently, directly in the field.
