Requires local governments to fully cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
This bill would require state and local governments to fully cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, overriding local rules that limit such help. It would clarify how federal immigration detainers work and protect local officials from lawsuits if they comply, while letting crime victims sue states that don't cooperate.
Today, state and local governments can sometimes limit how much their employees help federal immigration enforcement, and the rules for federal immigration detainers are not fully defined in law. This bill would override those local limits, requiring full cooperation from state and local officials. It would also clearly define when federal immigration detainers can be issued and how long federal agents have to take custody (up to 96 hours), while protecting cooperating state and local governments from lawsuits.
