Expands a federal immigration enforcement program allowing local police to help arrest undocumented immigrants.
The problem
Federal immigration agencies say they lack enough resources to enforce immigration laws nationwide. Local law enforcement has limited tools to assist in immigration enforcement efforts.
The proposal
Expands the 287(g) program, which gives local and state police training and authority to enforce federal immigration laws alongside Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
The impact
Local police departments, immigrant communities, and ICE would be affected. Police could conduct immigration-related arrests. Immigrants could face increased enforcement risks.
The bill could help federal agencies enforce immigration laws more effectively by using local police. This expands the government's capacity to identify and process undocumented immigrants without hiring new federal agents.
Allows communities to participate in immigration enforcement according to federal law. Local departments can receive federal training and funding to help with these duties.
Could improve communication and coordination between local police and federal immigration authorities. This might reduce duplicated efforts and increase efficiency in enforcement operations.
Local police becoming immigration enforcers might discourage immigrants from reporting crimes to police. Immigrant communities may fear police stops for traffic violations could lead to deportation, reducing public safety cooperation.
Local police departments could spend significant time on immigration enforcement instead of community policing. This might divert limited budgets and staff from addressing local crime and public safety issues.
Expanding enforcement could lead to more racial profiling and discrimination claims. Training variations across jurisdictions might cause inconsistent treatment of suspects and legal violations.
More arrests could increase local jail costs for holding detainees pending federal transfer. Communities may bear additional expenses for housing and processing these individuals.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
