Key Points
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
This bill would financially incentivize cities across the country to participate in immigration enforcement, including honoring ICE detainers and training local police to identify removable noncitizens. For undocumented people living in major urban areas — especially those currently in 'sanctuary' cities — this could mean significantly more encounters with immigration enforcement during routine interactions with local police or while in local custody.
“participating in the program authorized under section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1357(g)), including training and authorizing local officers to perform immigration enforcement functions such as identifying and processing removable noncitizens in their custody”
