Plain-English Summary

This bill would give states and local communities more control over immigration enforcement and policy decisions that currently rest with the federal government. It likely aims to let cities and states set their own rules about cooperating with federal immigration authorities and handling immigration-related issues within their borders. The measure would affect how local police departments, state officials, and federal immigration agencies work together on enforcement.
