Bill > HB93

This bill amends Delaware's public school law by establishing strict limitations on how school resource officers (SROs) and school constables can interact with federal immigration enforcement agencies. Specifically, these school law enforcement personnel are prohibited from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement activities without prior written authorization from the Delaware Attorney General. To obtain such authorization, the supervising authority must submit a detailed written request at least 72 hours before the proposed activity, which must include comprehensive information such as the requesting agency's name, the reason for the request, specific dates, activity duration, purpose, records sought, potentially impacted individuals, and the planned implementation method. The bill appears designed to provide additional protection and oversight for school-based law enforcement interactions with federal immigration authorities, ensuring that any cooperation is carefully reviewed and explicitly approved by state legal leadership. By requiring explicit authorization and detailed documentation, the bill aims to prevent potential unilateral actions that might compromise student or staff safety or immigration status.
