Bill Summary
As introduced, requires, rather than permits, each law enforcement agency to execute an agreement with the United States department of homeland security to participate in the 287(g) program and the warrant service officer program for purposes of enforcing immigration laws in collaboration with the United States bureau of immigration and customs enforcement (ICE). - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7 and Title 8.
AI Summary
This bill requires all Tennessee law enforcement agencies to negotiate and enter into a memorandum of agreement with federal immigration authorities to participate in two specific immigration enforcement programs: the 287(g) program and the warrant service officer program. The 287(g) program, named after a section of federal immigration law (8 U.S.C. § 1357(g)), allows local law enforcement agencies to collaborate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by training and deputizing local officers to perform certain immigration enforcement functions. The warrant service officer program enables local law enforcement to assist ICE in executing immigration-related warrants. Previously, participation in these programs was optional for local agencies, but this bill makes participation mandatory. The bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated justification that the public welfare requires such action, suggesting the legislators view this as an urgent public safety measure related to immigration enforcement.
