Ending Local Police Authority in Federal Immigration Enforcement.

This bill seeks to eliminate the federal program that allows state and local police to investigate, apprehend, and detain individuals for immigration violations under agreements with ICE. If enacted, immigration enforcement would become solely the responsibility of federal agencies. This change ensures local police focus strictly on community safety matters rather than immigration status.
Key points
State and local law enforcement officers lose the authority to act as federal immigration agents (rescinding the 287(g) program).
Immigration enforcement duties are restricted exclusively to authorized federal officers of the Department of Homeland Security.
