Urban Institute

The Urban Institute has published an analysis examining what an expansion of 287(g) immigration policing agreements could mean for public safety in the United States. The 287(g) program deputizes local law enforcement to carry out federal immigration enforcement, and the report considers how broader participation could affect trust between immigrant communities and police. Discussion is centering on whether such expansion improves safety or deters crime reporting.

The Urban Institute says formal AI governance has now arrived in mortgage finance, with lenders, regulators and policymakers beginning to set rules for how artificial intelligence is used in underwriting, servicing and lending decisions. The report asks what comes next as firms adapt compliance frameworks to increasingly automated systems and regulators weigh fairness, transparency and accountability standards for AI in housing finance.
