Bill > HR756

This bill amends section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to strengthen and clarify the 287(g) program, which allows state and local law enforcement agencies to collaborate with federal immigration authorities. The bill mandates that the Department of Homeland Security must enter into written agreements with state or local law enforcement agencies upon request, unless there is a compelling reason to deny the request. The agreements can include various enforcement models like patrol, task force, or jail models, and cannot be arbitrarily terminated. The bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to provide at least 180 days' notice before terminating an agreement and allows the state or local agency to appeal the termination through administrative or legal channels. Additionally, the bill requires uniform training standards for participating law enforcement officers and mandates annual performance and recruitment reports detailing the program's outcomes, including the number of aliens apprehended, removed, and the reasons for non-removal. The bill also modifies funding provisions to support the 287(g) program and requires the development of specific training requirements within 180 days of enactment.
