Strengthening Immigration Law Enforcement Cooperation and Combating Drugs.

This act aims to increase cooperation between local and federal authorities in enforcing immigration laws. It means state and local governments cannot restrict their employees from sharing information about individuals' immigration status or assisting federal agencies. This is intended to help combat illegal drug trafficking, especially fentanyl.
Key points
State and local authorities must cooperate with federal immigration agencies, without imposing restrictions.
Local agencies can inquire about immigration status, notify the federal government about individuals' presence, and comply with information requests.
The Department of Homeland Security may refuse to transfer detainees to non-compliant states.
Local agencies cooperating with federal immigration authorities will be protected from liability lawsuits.
