Plain-English Summary

This bill would give local governments more authority to enforce immigration laws and set their own immigration policies, rather than leaving these decisions solely to federal authorities. It would likely allow cities and counties to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement and potentially create their own immigration-related regulations. The bill affects local officials, immigrants, and communities trying to determine how immigration enforcement happens in their areas.
