Plain-English Summary

This bill would prohibit private companies from being hired to enforce immigration laws or apprehend people for immigration violations, keeping those duties exclusively with government agencies. It would prevent immigration enforcement from being outsourced to private bounty hunters or contractors, ensuring that immigration-related arrests and enforcement actions are handled only by official government personnel. The bill affects immigration enforcement practices and could impact private security companies that currently contract with immigration authorities.
