Bill > HF3459

This bill aims to limit state and local government participation in federal civil immigration enforcement efforts. It prohibits government units and public safety agencies from engaging in various activities related to civil immigration enforcement, such as disclosing information to federal immigration authorities, inquiring about immigration status, or assisting with civil immigration operations. The bill also requires government units and public safety agencies to implement policies to ensure compliance with the law and protect the privacy and well-being of immigrant community members. The bill establishes a system for reporting and investigating alleged violations, and provides for enforcement actions and remedies, including actual or liquidated damages and attorney's fees. The bill also repeals existing Minnesota statutes that require notification of federal immigration authorities about certain individuals in state or county institutions.
