Plain-English Summary

This bill would restrict cities and states from adopting policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, potentially requiring local police to assist with immigration-related arrests and detentions. It would affect immigrants, local law enforcement agencies, and sanctuary jurisdictions that currently have policies protecting undocumented immigrants from deportation. The legislation aims to increase coordination between local and federal authorities on immigration enforcement matters.
