Plain-English Summary

The LOCATE Act would require the federal government to maintain and share information about the locations of undocumented immigrants with state and local law enforcement agencies. This would allow police departments across the country to access federal immigration data to help identify and locate people in the country illegally, affecting both immigration enforcement efforts and communities with significant immigrant populations.
