Campbell County VA ICE agreement: what the records show

The index reports a 2025 agreement

An independent public index lists the Campbell County Sheriff's Office in Virginia with an ICE Task Force Model agreement dated May 8, 2025. The 287(g) Watch agency profile displayed a data update of October 16, 2026 when reviewed for this article on October 17.

The reported signing date comes from the index. Its history also shows a May 15, 2025 addition entry, a separate date from the reported agreement signature. The October 2026 update does not establish a newly signed agreement or a new local enforcement action.

The profile identifies the agency as ORI VA0160000, linking the finding to Campbell County, Virginia. The index is an independent data project, not a statement issued by ICE or the sheriff.

What the model designation adds to the finding

ICE's Task Force Model fact sheet describes a framework for immigration duties during routine law-enforcement work, including non-custodial settings. The federal delegation statute provides for qualified officers, required training, a written agreement and federal supervision.

That framework explains the model named in the index. It does not establish which Campbell deputies have been authorized, completed training or carried out immigration duties. The Campbell County ICE and 287(g) resource explains the document and officer-authorization records needed to answer those questions.

The signed pages still need direct verification

The agreement's document trail includes an official ICE PDF link. The independent index also links a third-party GitHub archive. The official PDF could not be read during this review, and readable signed pages were not obtained from the archive.

This article therefore attributes the model and reported signing date to the index. The agreement's signatures, specific clauses and any amendments have not been independently verified. The current official ICE roster was also not obtained for this edition.

The listing does not supply a local enforcement total

The review did not establish Campbell-specific counts of authorized officers, training or deployment records, enforcement activity, spending or reimbursements. No conclusion about present operations follows from the index's update date alone.

The official sheriff's page identifies Sheriff Whit Clark and the office's Virginia FOIA contact, but does not publish 287(g) operational metrics. Separate records would be needed to connect an agreement to local activity or a measurable outcome.

For the official contact gateway and a practical list of records to seek, use the Campbell County agreement and records guide. An unverified figure is an unanswered question, not a zero.

Sources for this report

The agency, model, reported signing date and displayed update date come from the independent 287(g) Watch profile. The general explanation of delegated authority draws on ICE's Task Force Model fact sheet and 8 U.S.C. 1357(g). Sheriff identity and the official records contact are linked through the county sheriff's page.

The ICE document link and third-party archive are provided as document leads; their signed pages were not inspected. These source and access distinctions apply to the October 17, 2026 edition.
