Bill > H2296

This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to regulate the ability of sheriffs, correctional officers, and other state law enforcement personnel to assist with the enforcement of federal immigration laws. Specifically, it requires that any such federal enforcement activities must be fully funded by the federal government and explicitly authorized by state law. The bill also mandates detailed record-keeping and annual reporting on these activities to the state legislature. This is intended to provide oversight and transparency around the use of state resources for federal immigration enforcement.
