Bill Summary
To ensure that local and state officials are fully cooperating with law enforcement personnel in the enforcement of federal immigration law.
AI Summary
This bill proposes several key changes to state law regarding immigration enforcement. Specifically, it would repeal an existing statute (Section 54-192h) and introduce new provisions that prohibit local and state government officials from interfering with federal or state law enforcement efforts to enforce immigration law. The bill establishes a formal complaint process for individuals who believe a government official has obstructed immigration law enforcement and creates penalties for such interference. Additionally, it provides a mechanism for civil legal action against officials who impede immigration enforcement efforts. The underlying purpose is to ensure that local and state government personnel fully cooperate with law enforcement in carrying out federal immigration regulations, potentially by removing any existing barriers or protections that might have previously limited such enforcement activities. By creating clear legal consequences and a complaint process, the bill aims to increase compliance and collaboration between local, state, and federal authorities in immigration matters.
